{"product_id":"cortland-apple-malus-fruit-cortland-2-gallon-36","title":"Cortland Apple (Malus 'Fruit Cortland') - 2 gallon 36\"","description":"The Cortland apple tree produces medium to large, bright red fruit with crisp, snow-white flesh that resists browning—ideal for fresh eating, salads, and baking. This cold-hardy cultivar thrives in Zones 4-7, making it perfect for northern climates. Developed in New York in 1898, Cortland is a McIntosh cross known for its sweet-tart flavor with subtle strawberry notes. Trees reach 12-15 feet at maturity and require a pollenizer for optimal fruit set. Harvest in late September to early October. Self-sterile; plant with compatible varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala, or McIntosh for cross-pollination. Excellent disease resistance and consistent yields make Cortland a reliable choice for orchards and home gardens alike.","brand":"OrderEase Drop Ship","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966155518160,"sku":"22665","price":93.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/8331\/3360\/files\/product_oe_image_6815614.png?v=1780460161","url":"https:\/\/wattersgardencenter.com\/products\/cortland-apple-malus-fruit-cortland-2-gallon-36","provider":"Watters Garden Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
