Golden Delicious Apple (Potted)

The classic Golden Delicious Apple is adored by all, young and old. In fact, it is the second most popular apple grown in the United States! It is hard to resist the sweet and juicy flavor of this blushing, golden-yellow fruit. Not only is the Golden Delicious known as one of the best eating apples, it is also widely used in baking, sauces, and preserves. Golden Delicious apples make mouth-watering pies and crisps!

The Golden Delicious Apple tree is covered in delicate, lacy blossoms in spring. Apples form and develop throughout summer and are ready for picking around October. These trees prefer full to part sun and moist, well-drained soil. Pruning is recommended for fruit trees to increase branching and open up the canopy for better air circulation and sun penetration. This helps prevent disease and increases fruit yield and quality.

Although the Golden Delicious Apple is a self-fertile variety in order to ensure that the highest quality and quantities of fruit are produced, pair the Golden Delicious with a Profusion Crabapple, Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious or Granny Smith.

The Golden Delicious Apple tree is commonly referred to as the “rooster” tree because it is one of the best pollinators for other varieties. It is a great choice if you have other apple trees already. Adding this variety to your yard will actually help your existing apple trees produce more and even better fruit!

Apple trees are lovely in the landscape. Use them like you would any other flowering tree! They offer an attractive look, blooms, AND a healthy snack! Use as a specimen or focal tree in your yard, garden, or even a large mixed bed.
