Notes
'Bright Future' apple (Malus domestica 'Bright Future') 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. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. The late-season apples are orange red over yellow and keep for one to two months. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Thimbleberry, and Bowl of Beauty peony.
