Notes
'Sundowner' apple (Malus domestica 'Sundowner') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and cooking. 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. John Cripps of Western Australia bred it. White flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. The fruit keeps its shape when cooked.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Chardonnay grape, and Hummingbird's mint.
