Cultivation

Origin: in Geneva, N.Y., by New York State Agr. Expt. Sta., Cornell Univ. Introd. in 1982. Cortland × Lodi. Cross made in 1938; selected in 1949: tested as NY 49-19 in Geneva and Lofthus, Norway, where it was named Mari by Olaf Einset, formerly of the Geneva Station. Not a mutation of Cortland, but a distinct variety. Tree: similar to Cortland; vigor medium; productive; susceptible to fire blight (Erwinia amylovara); can serve as a pollen source for other early blooming varieties. Introd. to fill a need between very early and late varieties. Fruit: similar to Cortland, except has considerable distinct striping and lighter green ground color, flavor more tart and ripens a month earlier than Cortland; fruit hangs well and has longer storage life than most early varieties.
