Notes
'Shenandoah' apple (Malus domestica 'Shenandoah') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating. 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. The fruit ripens late and keeps for 3 months or more. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Blueberry, Hummingbird's mint, and Autumn fern.
