Notes
'SweeTango' apple (Malus domestica 'SweeTango') is a tree for the food garden and for use as a specimen. 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 is sweet-tart and ripens in early fall. White and pink flowers open in spring and attract bees. The University of Minnesota bred it in 2005.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Garlic chives, and Summer savory.
