Notes
'Priscilla' apple (Malus domestica 'Priscilla') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating. 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. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. This apple is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. PRI bred it in 1972.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Common milkweed, and Grape hyacinth.
