Notes
'Orleans Reinette' apple (Malus domestica 'Orleans Reinette') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and culinary 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. It blooms in early to late spring, and bees visit the flowers. This apple is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination. The fruit ripens late and keeps for 2-3 weeks.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Swamp milkweed, Garlic chives, and Lenten rose.
