Cortland Apple Scion

Description

The Cortland apple is a McIntosh style apple with sweet vinous flavor. It however does not have all of Mac’s perfumery aromatics. The skin is bright red overlaid with darker red streaks.  It is tart and tangy, with white crisp flesh; Cortland apples are one of the best salad apples because it doesn’t brown quickly. The Cortland apples hang on the tree better than McIntosh, and more crisp in hot weather. The Cortland apple tree is well-suited to freezing temperatures. It is a vigorous, long-lived tree that starts bearing early
