Notes
'Scotch Bridget' apple (Malus domestica 'Scotch Bridget') is a tree for the food garden, grown for cooking. 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. Light pink flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. The fruit is richly acidic, soft, and juicy, and it keeps for several months. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Hazelnut, Nepeta, and Pink Impression tulip.
