Notes
'Reinette Grise du Canada' apple (Malus domestica 'Reinette Grise du Canada') is a tree for the food garden. 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 is grown for fresh eating, cooking, drying, and apple strudel. The fruit has a spicy flavor and holds its shape when cooked. Bees visit the spring flowers, and you will need a second apple tree nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Common milkweed, and Grape hyacinth.
