Notes
'Stayman' apple (Malus domestica 'Stayman') is a tree for the food garden. 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. It is grown for fresh eating, cooking, juice, and hard cider. The fruit ripens late and keeps for 1-2 months. Bees visit the spring blooms, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Chardonnay grape, Summer savory, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
