Description
Cortland Apple is a crisp and juicy apple tree known for its chartreuse skin with bright cherry-red stripes. This late-season variety is perfect for fresh eating, cooking, and making juice, thanks to its sweet flavor and tender texture. Cortland Apple trees grow best in full sun with well-drained soil and are a great addition to any home orchard. For reliable fruit production, plant with a second apple tree nearby for proper pollination.
In mid-spring, clusters of white flowers with soft pink tones bloom from pink buds, adding early color to your landscape. The rich green foliage turns yellow in fall, creating a beautiful backdrop for the abundant harvest. Cortland Apple is a productive and versatile tree, though fallen fruit may require occasional clean-up during peak season.
