Utter, also listed as Utter's Red, is an apple cultivar from Wisconsin. A northern apple bulletin says it was widely grown in Wisconsin and other parts of the West, which suggests some regional importance when the account was written. [S1]
The fruit is above medium to large and usually roundish oblate. The skin is yellow with heavy bright red splashes, mottling, striping, and dots. The flesh is white, fine grained, tender, juicy, mild, and pleasantly subacid. Its quality is rated good. [S1]
Utter is a late-season apple, with a November to December season. The source also records internal traits: an open or closed clasping core, obovate slit cells, a funnel-shaped tube, median stamens, and many very large, plump seeds. [S1]
Its appearance can vary. The bulletin says fruit from different parts of the same tree can differ markedly, and that exhibitors sometimes used this variation in displays. [S1]
The available source gives no parentage, breeder, release date, disease notes, or explicit hardiness rating. Its cold-climate relevance rests on its Wisconsin origin and western regional cultivation, not on a direct zone claim. [S1]
