Notes
'Niedzwetzkyana' apple (Malus domestica 'Niedzwetzkyana') 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, and juice. The tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. Dark red flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Hazelnut, Burnet, and Prairie dropseed.
