Notes
'Rajka' apple (Malus domestica 'Rajka') 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. Rajka is grown for fresh eating and juice. The apples have deep-red skin over golden yellow, with crisp, creamy-yellow flesh and a sweet flavor with good acidity. Breeders developed it to resist disease, so you can grow it with few sprays.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Rhubarb, and Black Parrot tulip.
