Notes
'Nonnetit Bastard' apple (Malus domestica 'Nonnetit Bastard') 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 grows at a moderate rate and has a dense habit. Bees visit the flowers, which open from early to late spring. You need a second apple tree nearby for pollination, because this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Rhubarb, Grape hyacinth, and Prairie dropseed.
