Golden Delicious Apple Tree

One of the Few Self-Pollinating Varieties

  • Tangy-sweet flavor with a touch of spice
  • One of the best pollinators for other varieties
  • Self-pollinating
  • Versatile apple for fresh eating or cooking
  • Ripens mid September to early October
  • Available in Reachables® size
More than 100 years after it was first introduced, Golden Delicious Apple Tree is still treasured by home gardeners. When picked at peak ripeness, its sweet tangy flavor has a touch of spiciness that makes it delicious. It's a favorite for eating fresh. Golden Delicious is also one of the best pollinators for other apple tree varieties—so much so that it's been called a "rooster" tree! It's great for planting with Gala, Pristine, Jonathan, GoldRush, Sweet Sixteen and others. Its fruits ripen from mid-September to early October. Zones 4-7.

Why buy a Deluxe package - Deluxe fruit trees include 2 oz. of Fruit-Boost™ Pelletized Calcium to enhance fruit quality, 12 oz. bag of Fruit Tree Food Starter Formula, easy-to-use tree ties (see video below), a premium tree guard to protect the trunk from gnawing pests, mowers and weed trimmers.
