‘Katy’ Apple Tree

‘Katy’ Apple Tree is a Swedish dessert apple which produces early season, green-yellow fruits.

Relatively small in size, these apples have a pleasant taste with notes of strawberry. It is a high yield variety that was introduced in 1947 and is best eaten straight from the tree.

A wonderful, pink-white blossom in Spring is a sight to behold.

Katy is available on different rootstocks to suit a range of gardens. The rootstock controls the rate of growth so you can choose a rootstock suitable to where you would like to plant your tree. The rootstock also ensures the tree fruits earlier than when grown on its own roots.

M26, a Semi-Dwarf variety, is suitable for smaller gardens and where space is at a premium. This rootstock grows to a mature height of 2.5m (8ft) after 10 years.

MM106, a Semi-Vigorous variety, is commonly one of the largest rootstock available and is best suited to large gardens and where space is not an issue. This rootstock grows to a mature height of 3.5m (11ft) after 10 years.

Features

• Rootstock: M26, MM106
• Fruiting Season: Early/Mid
• Parentage: James Grieve and Worcester Pearmain

Some cultivars are triploid. This means they require two non-triploid cultivars for good pollination.
