Notes
'Fameuse' apple (Malus domestica 'Fameuse') is a tree for specimen planting and the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. White and pink flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees. This apple is grown for fresh eating and juice. It needs a second apple tree nearby for pollination, and it is prone to scab, so give it good air flow.
Pairs well with Rhubarb, Cheerfulness daffodil, and Thimbleberry.
