Notes
'Newtown Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Newtown Pippin') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for fresh eating, cooking, juice, and hard cider. Pick the fruit late, then store it for 1-2 months before eating. Bees visit the spring blooms, and a second apple tree nearby helps fruit set.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Garlic chives, and Rhubarb.
