Cortland (apple)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cortland (also spelled Courtland) is a cultivar of apple.
After the many attributes of McIntosh were discovered, plant breeders began crossing it with other varieties to enhance its traits. One of the earliest was the Cortland, combined with the Ben Davis variety. Its flavor is sweet compared to McIntosh, and it has a flush of crimson against a pale yellow background sprinkled with short, dark red stripes and gray-green dots.
Cortland has very white flesh and is an excellent dessert apple.
This all purpose apple was developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York, USA in 1898. The apple was named after nearby Cortland County, New York.
Some recent variants of Cortland apples which have received plant patents in the United States include PP10049 and PP04800.
