Notes
'Sops in Wine' apple (Malus domestica 'Sops in Wine') 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. It is grown for culinary use and hard cider, and the fruit ripens early and keeps for 2-3 weeks. Bees visit the spring blooms. Plant a second apple nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Juneberry, False indigo, Blazing star, and Grape hyacinth.
