Notes
'Twenty Ounce' apple (Malus domestica 'Twenty Ounce') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating, culinary use, and drying. 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 dense tree grows at a moderate rate and blooms from early to late spring. Bees visit the flowers, and the fruit ripens late in the season.
