Collet is a Manitoba apple introduced by Albert Collet in 1934. The cultivar is often compared with McIntosh and is noted for early production and good disease resistance.
The medium fruit measures about 6 to 8 cm across. It has green skin with red streaking and a strong red blush, and firm, crisp, very juicy flesh with a sweet tart flavour. The flavour becomes sweeter after a light frost. Fruit ripens from the middle to late part of September, stores well, and is used fresh or for baking.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 3

More about this plant
A nursery source describes Collet with medium, round fruit, slightly tart, sprightly flavour and mid-September ripening. Medium is retained as qualitative wording; no linear size is inferred. General apple guidance recommends full sun, about eight or more hours daily, adequately drained garden soil around pH 6.0-7.0, no standing water and irrigation during dry spells. Compatible cross-pollen from a different apple variety is recommended. Exact mature size remains unresolved because grafted apple size depends on rootstock.
