Notes
'Spigold' apple (Malus domestica 'Spigold') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and juice. 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. The fruit ripens late in the season and keeps for 3 months or more. Bees visit the spring blooms. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Hazelnut, Blue fescue, and Bowl of Cream peony.
