Notes
'Three Counties' apple (Malus domestica 'Three Counties') 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. This apple is grown for juice and hard cider. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination, and bees will visit the spring flowers.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, Greig's tulip, and Christmas fern.
