Abstract: We prove that the set of quadratic growths attainable by integer-valued superharmonic functions on the lattice $mathbb{Z}^2$ has the structure of an Apollonian circle packing. This completely characterizes the PDE which determines the continuum scaling limit of the Abelian sandpile on the lattice $mathbb{Z}^2$.
