Notes
'Winter Banana' apple (Malus domestica 'Winter Banana') 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, juice, and hard cider. The fruit ripens late in the season and keeps for 1 to 2 months. Bees visit the spring flowers, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for fruit because this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Sugar Snap pea, Hummingbird's mint, and Autumn fern.
