Notes
'Beauty of Bath' apple (Malus domestica 'Beauty of Bath') 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. It is grown for fresh eating, and the fruit tastes best straight from the tree because it keeps only a day or so. White flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Thimbleberry, Rhubarb, and Black Parrot tulip.
