Apple "Golden Delicious" 10L

Apples remain one of the most popular fruits in the world and are rewarding to have growing in your garden.

The Golden Delicious Apple tree produces fruits that are fragrant, sweet, and crisp.

Early red starts flowering around early October and ready to harvest late February, early March. It is a medium to high chill variety, requiring cold winter locations to bring about dormancy.

Apple trees are not self-fertile requiring a second variety to cross pollinate it in order to bear fruit. Granny Smith is the cross pollinator for the Golden Delicious.

Position – Plant your apple tree in full sun for the best fruit yield. They can tolerate some shade, but you’re likely to get fewer fruits from them.

Size – Apple trees can grow to 12 metres tall and 9 to 12 metres wide when mature. But, it’s best to prune them yearly once mature to remain at about 6 metres. Ensure that you plant the tree away from external walls, electrical lines and other trees.

Soil Type – Apple trees are not fussy about soil type, but do prefer slightly acidic soil. The only requirement is that the soil drains well.
