Notes

'Prince William' apple (Malus domestica 'Prince William') is a tree for the food garden, grown for juice and hard cider. 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. Mid-season fruit has good flavor and keeps for 2-3 weeks. Bees visit the spring flowers, so plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.

Pairs well with Saucer magnolia, Sweet woodruff, and Pink Impression tulip.
