Mollies Delicious Apple Tree

This tree does require a pollinator.

Apple cultivars have very specific chill requirements, meaning a certain number of hours during winter dormancy must be under 45 degrees F in order for the tree to bloom. If they do not receive these chilling hours, their internal signals get crossed and they don't receive the message that spring has arrived. Apple blossoms typically bloom anywhere from early spring to late summer. The earlier apple varieties like McIntosh, Gala, Honeycrisp and Fuji would be the first ones you see, and the later varieties like Macoun, Mutsu and Pink Lady will blossom later on in the summer

We do not offer these any longer but it depends on the size you purchased. Dawrf will mature 8-10 feet tall and wide, Semi- dward will mature 12-15 inches tall and wide and a Standard will mature 18-20 feet tall and wide.

We are no longer offering this product; we keep the information on the website for the benefit of customers who have purchased it in the past. We usually discontinue a variety because we've discovered another variety that produces better fruit, is more disease resistant, cold-hardy, etc. We do not have anymore information at this time.

You must also have a neighbor with a different kind of apple tree that's pollinating your Mollie's Delicioius, as they are not self-fertile. If you want a lot more apples, plant a Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious or Braeburn nearby. As for ripening, that will depend upon the weather conditions rather than a calendar. In late August/early September, cut one open. If the seeds are dark brown, the apples are ready to pick. Also, if the fruit is overly tart, it's not ready to harvest yet.
