Notes
'Pink Pearl' apple (Malus domestica 'Pink Pearl') 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 culinary use, juice, and hard cider, and the crisp fruit has bright pink flesh. Light pink blossoms attract bees in spring. Albert Etter bred it in 1944.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Garlic chives, and American persimmon.
