Description:
'Katy' is one of our best selling eating apples, it's a cross between the popular parent varieties 'James Grieve' and 'Worcester Pearmain'. The apple is a vibrant red in colour and sweet and juicy in flavour with slight hints of strawberry and plenty of acidity. It's best eaten as soon as possible after it's picked. The leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid-June onwards. This is not a disease but is mainly due to this year’s contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree.
