ëKatherine is an upright, spreading crabapple that matures to 15-20 tall. It was discovered as a chance seedling in Rochester, New York in 1928. Pink buds open to pinkish-white, double flowers (to 2 1/4î diameter) in spring (April). Flowers fade to white. Flowers are followed by greenish-yellow crabapples (to 1/4î diameter) blushed with red. Crabapples mature in fall and persist on the tree into early winter. Birds are attracted to the fruit. Leaves are dark green.
