Starkrimson® Red Delicious Apple Tree
Description
Time-tested and crowd-approved! Our most popular Red Delicious. We introduced this variety to rave reviews, and the bravos keep coming. Many orchards plant this spur-type tree because of its highly productive nature — it produces bushel after bushel of picture-perfect 4" red apples. Originates from Hood River, Oregon in 1956. Cold-hardy. Ripens in late September. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety. See recommended pollinators below.
