Apple Yellow/Golden Delicious
Description: Yellow or Golden Delicious apples are medium to large-sized fruits with a characteristic golden-yellow skin that may have a slight blush or mottling. The flesh is juicy, crisp, and aromatic, with a sweet flavor and mild tartness. The fruit ripens in late summer to early fall and stores well, making it a popular choice for fresh eating, baking, and juicing. The tree itself has a spreading growth habit with dense foliage and produces white to pale pink flowers in spring, attracting pollinators. Size: Yellow or Golden Delicious apple trees are medium-sized deciduous trees, reaching a height of about 15 to 25 feet (4.5 to 7.5 meters) and a spread of 12 to 20 feet (3.5 to 6 meters) at maturity. The size of the tree can be influenced by factors such as the rootstock used, pruning practices, and growing conditions. Some growers may opt for dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties for smaller spaces or backyard orchards. Best Growing Zones: Yellow or Golden Delicious apple trees thrive in US
