My parents drove to Stark years ago and purchased Cortland apple trees. they were the most amazing apples for pies, cobblers, etc. Unfortunately, their trees gave everything they could and finally I am able to plant on my own acreage.

Which apple is best for pies?
BEST ANSWER: We love a somewhat tart apple with lots of characteristic flavor such as Nova Spy, Lodi, Cortland, Pippin, Harrelson, Granny Smith, and the old varieties like Jonathan and Winesap. Rome Beauty is a wonderful example of an apple that actually develops it's best flavor after cooking. Some of the favorite fresh-eating apples with big juice pockets don't hold their shape very well when cooked. The good cooking apples seem to me to have a more dense texture. Happy pie-making!!

Apple trees
The apple trees I ordered from Stark Brothers were delivered in good shape with no damage. I planted them and in no time they were off and growing. Since then they have shown excellent growth. I do the minor pruning in the spring to keep them in shape and also do the spraying they need. They are turning out to be the nicest shaped trees I have in my small orchard.

A worthy investment
I’ve created a mini orchard in our front and side yard using fruit trees and bushes from Stark Bros. I purchased this package of three dwarf apple trees bare root. They’ve been in the ground for one year now, and they’ve put on quite a bit of height, all are over 6’ tall and are sending out vigorous side growth with flowers and lush foliage. They are in sandy loam with full sun 12+ hours a day in zone 6a Connecticut. I am very happy with this investment, and Stark has the absolute best customer service I’ve ever encountered.

Easy As Pie Apple Tree Collection
Planted in 2016 in a raised bed due to clay soil and drainage issues. Trees are being grown as espalier on a 4 foot high fence and continue to grow well.
