Semi-Dwarf Apple Tree - White Flower Farm

Semi-Dwarf Apple Golden Delicious

Sorry, this product is sold out.

An early fall variety ripening in late August, 'Golden Delicious' has been around since 1890. Its large, firm apples are crisp and sweet -- a favorite in our household for fresh eating. Besides being a good "keeper" for growers, we recommend it as one of the best-tasting dessert apples that the home gardener can grow. 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 'Red Delicious' or 'Fuji' as well. 'Golden Delicious' is useful as a pollinator for many other Apple varieties. 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.
