Notes
'Belle Fleur de France Rouge' apple (Malus domestica 'Belle Fleur de France Rouge') is a tree grown for fresh eating, cooking, and juicing. 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 flecked red flush and taste juicy and sweet-sharp. They ripen in late September and keep until Christmas. Bees visit the spring blooms, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Garlic chives, and Prairie dropseed.
