Almata Apple Subtropicals & Citrus It ripens in early AugustMalus domestica 'Almata' Believed to have originated in Kazakhstan, specifically in the region around the city of Almaty (formerly known as Alma Ata). The name "Almata" itself is derived from this city, which in turn comes from the Turkic word alma, meaning "apple." This region is historically significant as the likely birthplace of the wild apple species Malus sieversii, which is considered one of the primary ancestors of the modern cultivated apple.
