'Ste Catherine' is a plum tree with a semi-open crown of 6-8 m in height. The crown is round and slightly irregular in shape. White-pink flowers open in April-May. 'Ste Catherine' is self-pollinating, which means that a tree of another plum variety should not be nearby for good fruit bearing. The plums of 'Ste Catherine' are medium-sized, slightly elongated and greenish-yellow in colour. The flesh is also greenish-yellow. The fruits are quite juicy and taste sweet. They are very suitable for direct consumption and processing in desserts or cakes. The plums are ready for picking in August. Fruiting has alternate years, so annual rich fruiting is not guaranteed. Hardiness zone 6.
