Notes
'Porter's Perfection' apple (Malus domestica 'Porter's Perfection') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for hard cider. Charles Porter bred it in 1907. Bees visit the spring flowers, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Bridal wreath spiraea, Shasta daisy, and Summer savory.
