Kittageskee
Malus domestica Borkh. Borkh.
Dessert
Kittageskee is a small, symmetrical yellow dessert apple with excellent quality and remarkable keeping ability, retaining its texture and flavor late into the season. The tree bears young, yields moderate to heavy annual crops, and is vigorous and prolific, especially in the South. Though too small for general market purposes, it is recommended for home use where a late-keeping dessert apple is desired.
