RED DELICIOUS APPLE TREE
Malus domestica 'Red Delicious' is a deciduous tree with pinkish-white flowers that produce sweet, large, dark red apples that are very sweet and juicy, perfect for snacking or baking. It has a crunchy, sweet flavor that keeps in the refrigerator from 3-6 month. It blooms from late April to early May and is considered a mid-season bloomer. Harvest is in September and October. It tends to be a biennial bearer, meaning the tree bears fruit heavily one year and a bit less the next. It will need a pollinator as it is not self-pollinating. Common mid-season bloomers for the Red Delicious Apple are: Malus Ambrosia, Cortland, Cox's Orange Pippin, Freedom, Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith.
Red Delicious Apples are sun lovers, thriving in full sun in deep, fertile, loamy, evenly moist, well-drained soil.
