Notes

'Orenco' apple (Malus domestica 'Orenco') 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 forms a dense shape. Flowers open in early to late spring, and bees visit them.

Pairs well with Pin oak, Garlic chives, Lenten rose, and Thimbleberry.
