Notes
'Tom Putt' apple (Malus domestica 'Tom Putt') 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. The fruit is grown for cooking, juice, and hard cider, and it ripens early. Bees visit the spring flowers. This apple is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Wild geranium, Prairie dropseed, and Grape hyacinth.
