Mollies Delicious Apple Tree
Description
Although unrelated to other Delicious varieties, Mollies Delicious tastes as good and is ready to eat a whole month earlier! Each tree grows up to 15' tall and bears very large, conical fruit with yellow flesh and a red blushing skin. The crisp, firm flesh has a fine texture and an unforgettable sweet-tart taste. A crisp and tasty choice for eating fresh, it is also ideal for cooking, canning and storing. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety. See Recommended Pollinators below.
