Notes
'Rome Beauty' apple (Malus domestica 'Rome Beauty') 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. This apple is grown for cooking, because it keeps its shape in the oven. Bees visit the spring blooms, and the tree is self-fertile.
Pairs well with High-bush blueberry, Rhubarb, and Garlic chives.
