Notes
'Red Devil' apple (Malus domestica 'Red Devil') 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. Hugh Ermen bred it in 1975. The fruit is grown for fresh eating, and its flesh is stained with red that grows inward from the skin. White to light pink flowers open in spring and attract bees.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Carnation, and Grape hyacinth.
