Why Golden Delicious Apple Trees?
With our Golden Delicious, you’ll get low-maintenance fruit, right in your own backyard, organically and in record time. The Golden Delicious is one of the country’s most popular apples, and for good reason: Each bite of a Golden Delicious Apple is extra juicy and sweet.
Plus, our Golden Delicious Apple Tree is disease resistant, so not only is it an ultra-fast producer…it’s easy to grow without the aid of pesticides, too. These apples don’t have a trace of bitter flavor, so they’re perfect for cooking, baking or even picking and eating right off the branch.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: For best results, find a location with well-drained soil and full sun - about 6 hours of sunlight per day. Once you've selected a location, dig a hole that's twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Then, place your tree, back fill and tamp down the soil, and water to settle the soil. Finally, mulch to retain moisture.
*Tip: Make sure your mulch is not touching the base of the trunk.
2. Watering: Your Yellow Delicious Apple will benefit from a regular watering each week, though you may have to water more during times of drought. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil down to a depth of about 2 or 3 inches - if it's dry here, it's time to water.
3. Pruning: Once your tree has become established and is starting to bear fruit, it will need some periodic, moderate pruning. Only prune the tree during times of dormancy, making sure to remove any vigorous, upright stems and weak, damaged or dead branches.
