Notes
'Belle Fleur de France' apple (Malus domestica 'Belle Fleur de France') 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. The large green apples have a red flush and ripen in late September or early October. This apple is grown for fresh eating, apple tarts, preserves, and juice. It is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Garlic chives, and Weigela.
