Notes
'Vista Bella' apple (Malus domestica 'Vista Bella') 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 tree is not self-fertile, so plant another apple nearby for pollination. The fruit ripens early and does not keep, so pick it fresh and chill it.
Pairs well with New England aster, Garlic chives, and Chokeberry.
