Notes

'Trinity' apple (Malus domestica 'Trinity') 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 cooking, and the early fruit keeps for 2-3 weeks. Dark pink flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.

Pairs well with New England aster, Garlic chives, Black chokeberry, and Indian grass.
