Åkerö

Åkerö, also called Akero or Okera, is an old apple cultivar of presumed Swedish origin, but possibly introduced from the Netherlands.

[2] It is probably named after the Åkerö Manor located south of Stockholm, Sweden where according to some it was originally found as a seedling.

Today it is still cultivated in Sweden[1] and is regarded as the best Swedish apple.

It needs cross pollination from a compatible cultivar, and gives a good crop of medium- to large-sized oval fruit.

[1] Åkerö is a summer apple and fruits are picked in August.
