Notes
'Wolf River' apple (Malus domestica 'Wolf River') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This apple is grown for cooking, juice, and baking since the large fruit keeps its shape when cooked. The fruit is fairly sweet, so it needs little sugar. White spring flowers attract bees, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Alexander Fleming peony, Carlton daffodil, Western sword fern, and Dropmore Scarlet honeysuckle.
