Golden Delicious Apple Tree

One of the Few Self-Pollinating Varieties

(1 customer reviews)

Yellow peel and sweetly tangy flavor make a tempting snack. One of the best pollinators for other varieties—so much so that it’s been called a “rooster” tree! Best as a short-storage eating apple. Ripens mid Sept. to Oct. Zones 4-7.

Golden Delicious
Reviewed By: Steve (CDA, ID)
The original is one of best tasting apples in the world! Problem is 95% of grocery stores carry genetically modified version, bred to not bruise and have brighter coloring. This apple was once a legend until Paul Stark, back in 1914 traveled so deep into West Virginia he had to switch from train to horseback, but he found the apple a lot of folks had heard about but never thought really existed. He cloned the tree after paying what would be around half a million dollars today, to the property owner. The original Golden Delicious Apple favorite eating and baking apples had a unique spicy goodness off the tree 4.5 rating, today’s store fresh 3, sale price 2.
