Notes
'Perrine Yellow Transparent' apple (Malus domestica 'Perrine Yellow Transparent') 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. This apple is grown for cooking, and the flesh quickly cooks down to a creamy sauce. Pick the large fruit while still green for cooking. D.B. Perrine introduced it in 1930.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Butterfly milkweed, and Sedge.
