Notes
'Yorkshire Greening' apple (Malus domestica 'Yorkshire Greening') 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 cooking, and its juicy acidity suits a traditional cooker. The tree is tough and a reliable cropper, so it works in difficult spots. White spring flowers attract bees, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Tiger lily, and White spruce.
