Notes

'William Crump' apple (Malus domestica 'William Crump') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating. 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. White flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.

Pairs well with Anise hyssop, Honeyberry, and Sundrops.
