Notes
'Sonya' apple (Malus domestica 'Sonya') 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. Sonya is grown for sweet, crisp fresh eating, with a flavor like raw sugar cane and no acidity. The fruit is tall in shape, and the tree blooms in early to late spring, which draws bees. Plant a second apple nearby, since 'Sonya' is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Blazing star, and False indigo.
