Baker's Delight Apple Tree | Gurney's Seed & Nursery Co.

Dessert Has Never Tasted so Good

Superb baking and dessert apple
Rich, complex flavor with hints of cinnamon, honey and vanilla
Very productive
Ripens early to mid September
Ripened fruit hangs on tree for extended harvest period
Available in Reachables^® size

Our newest introduction has the richest, most complex flavor you can get from an early to mid-September ripening apple. Medium-sized apples have a tender texture which cooks up perfectly and do not brown easily when cut. An extremely heavy annual bearer, and apples hang on the tree for an extended period with no loss in flavor quality. Zones 5-8. PP29147.

Now available in Reachables size! A Reachables tree produces full-sized fruits, but on a smaller tree. That makes it easier to fit into your garden, orchard—or even a container. Thanks to state-of-the-art rootstock technology, these trees stay manageable allowing one person to prune, spray, net and harvest the tree—all while standing on the ground. No ladders required! Note: Because their full-sized fruits grow on smaller trees, Reachables require a tree support.
