Join Apple lovers across the country who have made 'Red Delicious' the most widely grown variety. White flowers in May give way to sweet-tasting, red fruits with light yellow flesh in late August to early fall. Our plant has a semi-dwarf rootstock, which means it will mature at about 80% the size of a standard Apple tree. You'll have plenty of fruit for a family of four if you let the tree self-pollinate, or you can increase fruit production by cross-pollination when you grow 'Yellow Delicious' or 'Fuji' as well. We ship plants with a 1/2in caliper.
Please note: Semi-dwarf Apple trees will sometimes fruit the first year after planting, and usually will fruit by the second year. However, experienced growers recommend that you remove any fruit for several years after planting so that your young tree can put all its energy into establishing strong roots and branches.
