Notes
'Vilberie' apple (Malus domestica 'Vilberie') is a tree for the food garden, grown for hard cider. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is partially self-fertile, so a nearby apple tree may help fruit set. Bees visit the spring blooms. The fruit ripens late in the season and keeps for 2-3 weeks.
Pairs well with Chardonnay grape, Green and gold, Feverfew, and Japanese forest grass.
