Notes
'Red Prince' apple (Malus domestica 'Red Prince') 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. Wilton Weert B.V. introduced it in 1994. The fruit is grown for eating fresh and for cooking, and it keeps for 3 months or more. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Rhubarb, Garlic chives, and Pink Lemonade blueberry.
