Notes

'Sir Isaac Newton's Tree' apple (Malus domestica 'Sir Isaac Newton's Tree') 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. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. The fruit ripens late and is grown for cooking. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.

Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Grape hyacinth, and Thimbleberry.
