Notes
'Amere de Berthencourt' apple (Malus domestica 'Amere de Berthencourt') is a tree for the food garden. This apple is grown for hard cider. 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. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. You need a second apple tree nearby because this one is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Thimbleberry, Rhubarb, and Gardenia peony.
