Notes
'Saint Edmund's Pippin' apple (Malus domestica 'Saint Edmund's Pippin') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating, juice, and hard cider. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°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. Mr R. Harvey introduced it in 1875. The fruit keeps only 2-3 weeks, so plan to use it soon after picking.
Pairs well with Chardonnay grape, Shasta daisy, and Hummingbird's mint.
