Notes
'Reinette Rouge Etoilee' apple (Malus domestica 'Reinette Rouge Etoilee') 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. It blooms in early to late spring and attracts bees. The apples ripen toward the end of September and keep for a couple of months. Plant a second apple nearby, since this tree is not self-fertile.
Pairs well with Juneberry, Common milkweed, Grape hyacinth, and Kansas peony.
