Notes
'Woolbrook Russet' apple (Malus domestica 'Woolbrook Russet') 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. Bees visit the spring blooms, and the fruit ripens late in the season. It is grown for cooking and juice, and J.H Stevens & Son bred it in 1903. Plant a second apple nearby, because this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Flowering quince, Coral Charm peony, and Switchgrass.
