Description

Apple 'Saturn' produces heavy crops of medium large dessert apples in autumn, which can be kept and stored until winter. The medium-large apples have lime-green skin almost completely hidden by dark red blush. The juicy yellow flesh has a nice balance of sugar and acidity making it great to eat fresh or use in cooking.

Malus domestica 'Saturn' originates from Kent in the 1980s.

Planting Steps

Aftercare Advice

Apple trees require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.

Prune young apple trees for the first few years after planting to create a healthy, goblet-like shape with one central leader and several side shoots. Straight after planting, you can remove the lowest laterals. Prune back other branches by between a third and half their length.

In the following years, remove any shoots growing out of the trunk to maintain a clear stem. Also remove any crossing, diseased or damaged branches. If your tree is looking overcrowded, remove some of the larger branches to open up the canopy. This type of pruning should be carried out between November and March whilst the tree is dormant.
