The ornamental apple (Malus 'Katherine') is a tree 5.5–6 meters tall with an upright-spreading crown. The variety is characterized by abundant flowering with semi-double or double flowers, which change color from dark pink in the bud to white when fully open. The fruits are small, green with a blush, and are used for ornamental purposes or as bird feed. The plant is resistant to scab and fire blight but does not tolerate alkaline soils well.
The fruiting apple (Malus × domestica 'Katharine') is a late-maturing variety bred by Albert Etter. In shape and coloration, the fruits resemble the Wagener variety and possess firm, juicy flesh and good flavor qualities. The variety is valued for its long storage potential and is suitable for fresh dessert consumption and culinary processing.
