Notes
'Sunrise' apple (Malus domestica 'Sunrise') 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 fresh eating and juice. The apples ripen early over a long period, so you can leave them on the tree until you are ready to eat them. Summerland Research Station bred it in the 1990s.
