Winter Duchess is an apple cultivar described in A Study of Northwestern Apples. The bulletin says it originated with C. G. Patten of Charles City, Iowa. It gives no parentage or release date. [S1]
The fruit is large, roundish, and regular. The skin is yellow, thinly covered with splashed and mixed red, with minute white dots. The flesh is yellowish and mild subacid, and is rated very good. [S1]
Its season is listed as October and November, which suggests a later autumn apple in this bulletin. The source gives no separate storage details beyond those months. [S1]
The source does not describe tree habit, bearing behavior, disease response, culinary use, or cold hardiness directly. Its inclusion in a northwestern apple bulletin gives regional context, but does not support a specific hardiness zone claim. [S1]
