'Red Windsor' apple (Malus domestica 'Red Windsor') 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. It grows at a moderate pace and forms a dense shape. Flowers open in early to late spring, and bees visit them.

Pairs well with Juneberry, September Charm anemone, Greig's tulip, and Clematis.
