| Description |
Golden Delicious apples are a milder flavored apple cultivar with thin yellow skin and crispy, sweet, pale white flesh. They can be eaten fresh or baked. Blossoms are white or pink. Trees have a chilling requirement of 600-700 hours. Golden Delicious apples are self-pollinating, but can benefit from nearby trees with the same bloom period, and are great pollinators for apple trees that don't self-pollinate. Apples are propagated through grafting because seeds do not breed true. Semi-dwarf and dwarf sizes are available. Depending on the size chosen, the tree will bear fruit within 2-5 years of planting.
