If looking for a columnar apple variety with early fruting Suncats could be a winner. This apple bears rich red fruit already in late summer. The apples are medium sized to large, have a sweet and aromatic taste, and are best eaten freshly picked from the tree, they cannot be stored. As other „cats“ varieties this one is also resistant to scab, canker, and powdery mildew.

Being self-sterile it needs another apple tree as a pollinator. The best ones are sister varieties of columnar apples such as Greencats 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).
