Notes
'Winston' apple (Malus domestica 'Winston') 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. This apple is grown for late-keeping fruit with firm, juicy flesh that starts a little sharp and mellows to sweet and aromatic. It blooms from early to late spring, and bees visit the flowers. It also crops reliably and is easy to grow.
Pairs well with Weigela, Lily, and Anglojap yew.
