Notes
'Ariane' apple (Malus domestica 'Ariane') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating. 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. It blooms from early to late spring and draws bees. Plant a second apple nearby for pollination, since it is not self-fertile. The fruit keeps for 3 months or more.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, African marigold, and Weigela.
