An introduction from Sweden, where it was introduced in 1947, Katy (Malus domestica 'Katy') is the result of the cross between James Grieve x Worcester Pearmain.  Katy carries heavy crops of bright red early fruiting apples.  The apples have a sweet, juicy, acidic taste with firm flesh.  In addition, the apples also make excellent fresh juice and even a palatable cider.

Month of Picking: September

Type of Apple: Eating

Self-fertile/Not self-fertile: This apple is not self-fertile and requires another apple to act as a pollination partner. 

This apple is in flowering period is C3. 

How to chose a suitable pollination partner:

To make it easy to match this apple with a suitable pollination partner we have used a series of codes, which are C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 and relate to flowering periods.  Every apple variety we sell will have one of these codes. 

The code we have given this apple tree means that you need to find another apple with the same code or one less or one more, so for example if the apple is code C3, then another apple variety with code C4 or C5 would be necessary to act as a reliable pollination partner.

This variety of apple tree is supplied in a 12 litre container, which means that the tree can be planted any time of the year and with better results than either bare-root or rootballed trees.
