The Golden Delicious Apple is an heirloom variety that has been cultivated for over 100-years, and for good reason. Not the least of which being the intensely sweet and sugary flavor, combined with a creamy white flesh, and soft baked, apple pie texture. A Golden Delicious tree is a vigorous grower and heavy producer of golden-yellow fruit. Self-pollinating, which means this tree does not require another variety nearby to produce fruit, and also an excellent pollinator of nearby apple trees, which heavily encourages significantly higher fruit production from the entire orchard.
