Limato

Limato is a variety of apple that originated in the United Kingdom. It was developed by the East Malling Research Station and released in 1990. The apple is known for its crisp texture and sweet, slightly tart flavor. Its skin is a vibrant yellow-green color, often with a red blush.

The Limato apple is a good all-purpose variety. It is firm enough to hold its shape when cooked, making it suitable for pies, crumbles, and other baked goods. It is also delicious eaten fresh as a snack or in salads. The apple has a good storage life, allowing it to be enjoyed for several months after harvest.

This variety is relatively resistant to common apple diseases, which contributes to its ease of cultivation for both commercial growers and home gardeners. Limato apples typically ripen in late summer to early autumn. They are a popular choice in the UK and are increasingly found in other parts of the world.
