Notes
'Weirouge' apple (Malus domestica 'Weirouge') is a tree for the food garden, grown for fresh eating and cooking. 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 from early to late spring, and bees visit the flowers. The flesh is red, and the flavor is sweeter than most red-fleshed apples. This tree is not self-fertile, so plant a second apple nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Chokeberry, New England aster, and Blue fescue.
