Courtland Apples
These are all-purpose apples. Since
their flesh is slow to brown after it's cut,
Cortland apples are especially good in
salads.
Cortland Apple will grow to be about 20
feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 20
feet
Cortland was one of the first varieties to be developed from the popular
McIntosh apple. It is a cross between an old southern variety, Ben Davis,
pollinated by McIntosh. However as is often the case with McIntosh crosses,
Cortland is very much in the McIntosh mould, with the characteristic crimson
red skin and glistening sweet white flesh, although it does have a more rustic
appeal than some other Mac crosses.
Cortland is a reliable and heavy-cropping variety. The apples are generally
larger than McIntosh, but the sweet perfumed flavor is similar. Fruit quality
from markets can be quite variable because Cortland does not keep
especially well, but this is easily remedied by growing your own. Although
primarily an apple for eating fresh, Cortland is also useful in the kitchen, and
cut slices don't brown quickly.
