Greencats is another columnar apple variety. It bears medium-sized or large apples with rich green, glossy skin similar to Granny Smith variety. The flesh is firm and crisp, juicy, sweet and sour. The fruit is resistant to scab, canker, and powdery mildew. Greencats is a late variety can be picked from mid October onwards and stored until end February.
Being self-sterile it needs another apple tree as a pollinator. The best ones are sister varieties of columnar apples such as Suncats and Redcats. As a columnar variety it only makes short lateral branches bearing fruit and needs no pruning. Its expected hardiness is -27°C (USDA zone 5b).
