The Cortland Apple Tree is a brilliant choice for your backyard orchard, offering gorgeous spring blossoms and a heavy autumn harvest of crisp, sweet-tart fruit. Famous for its snow-white flesh that resists browning, Cortland is the ultimate apple for fresh salads, snacking, and baking. Thriving in full sun, this reliable producer matures to a very manageable 12 to 15 feet tall, making it exceptionally easy to pick from. Keep in mind that in Zones 7 and 8, local deer find the sweet fruit and tender leaves just as appealing as we do, so a simple wire enclosure is a smart idea while the young tree establishes.
To guarantee your new tree thrives right from the start, thoroughly blend your garden's native soil with Watters Premium Mulch. This vital step improves drainage and insulates the establishing roots against temperature fluctuations. Finally, feed your tree with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to encourage robust early rooting and generations of crisp, homegrown apples.

🪴Is it safe to ship plants during extreme heat or cold?
We watch the weather maps like hawks. If a heatwave or a freeze is rolling through, we'll hold your
shipment in our climate-controlled nursery until it's safe to travel. We'd rather wait a week to ship a
healthy plant than rush a dead one to your door.
