Unity is described as a Battleford seedling with an Elder Jack association. It is classed as ST, meaning a standard apple with fruit 5 cm or more in diameter, and is also marked H1, which this source lists as the hardest class [S1].
Fruit is described as 7-8 cm with a partial red blush. Flesh is white; the fruit is soft and bruises easily. It ripens by the end of September. Culinary use is listed as good for cooking and fair for dessert [S1].
The source reports that it can be rather slow to produce. It also says Saskatchewan sources incorrectly labeled it Jack's No. 2, while Lloyd released it as Unity. Coutts (1991) called it the best apple in the Unity area for 40 years and noted it as a good parent. A release year of 1967 is mentioned, but that date is uncertain because of scan quality [S1].
