Notes
'Fiesta' apple (Malus domestica 'Fiesta') is a tree for food garden use. 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. This apple is grown for fresh eating and juice, and the fruit stores for 3 months or more. White and pink flowers open in spring and attract bees. East Malling Research bred it in 1972.
Pairs well with Plum, Grape hyacinth, and Kentucky bluegrass.
