Notes

'WineCrisp' apple (Malus domestica 'WineCrisp') 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 universities of Purdue, Rutgers, and Illinois developed it, and it grows a dense crown at a moderate rate. Bees visit the spring blooms. The fruit is crisp with a fruity flavor.

Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Grape hyacinth, Bowl of Cream peony, and Sedge.
