Notes
'Rubinette Rosso' apple (Malus domestica 'Rubinette Rosso') 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 a sport of the original 'Rubinette', with stronger red color and slightly better skin finish. The flavor is outstanding and unchanged. Light pink flowers open in early to late spring and attract bees.
Pairs well with Honeyberry, Cat mint, and Rhubarb.
