Visitor reviews
- 15 Oct 2014 MICHIGAN, United StatesThis apple makes beautiful pink applesauce. Good flavor as well.
- 12 Dec 2012 WI, United StatesEveryone loves RedCort, but I still prefer the original Cortland. When RedCort first came out, I sampled the fruit along with plain Cortland and found Cortland to taste sweeter. Informal blind taste tests I did had most of my subjects agreeing with me. Sometimes a redder skin does not mean a better flavored apple.
- 02 Nov 2012 WI, United StatesSweet but tangy, good finish..holds onto its flavor weeks after picking.
