Katy is an easy-going early-season apple. The pretty appearance and juicy flavour mean it is popular with children, and it becomes available just in time for lunch-boxes for the new school term! Katy originates from Sweden, where it is known as Katya, and as such is well-suited to growing in northern European climates. It was developed in 1947 as a cross between James Grieve and Worcester Pearmain and is very much a mixture of these two varieties.
To guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same flowering group (e.g. Redsleeves).
