Description

The Cortland apple tree produces medium to large, bright red fruit with crisp, snow-white flesh that resists browning—ideal for fresh eating, salads, and baking. This cold-hardy cultivar thrives in Zones 4-7, making it perfect for northern climates. Developed in New York in 1898, Cortland is a McIntosh cross known for its sweet-tart flavor with subtle strawberry notes. Trees reach 12-15 feet at maturity and require a pollenizer for optimal fruit set. Harvest in late September to early October. Self-sterile; plant with compatible varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala, or McIntosh for cross-pollination. Excellent disease resistance and consistent yields make Cortland a reliable choice for orchards and home gardens alike.
