Notes
'Winesap' apple (Malus domestica 'Winesap') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for fresh eating, cooking, and juice, and the apples keep in cold storage for 3 months or more. Its light pink blossoms open in spring and attract bees. You need a second apple tree nearby, since it is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Shasta daisy, and Grape hyacinth.
