These are the two apples that put Stark Bro’s on the map, and both are perfectly “Delicious!” No home orchard should be without these two classic apple trees. This time-tested, cold-hardy and productive pair will give you bushel upon bushel of colorful apples. No pollination worries: Golden Delicious is a self-pollinator, and will also pollinate the Red Delicious. They will ripen together in late September.

I recently planted 2 dwarf apple trees. Will it harm the trees if I plant a vegetable garden between and around them?
g3n3fi on Mar 27, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I have a 5 graft apple tree I planted a few years ago as a memorial to my pup that passed. I grow mizuna, Swiss chard, onions, garlic, yarrow, lavender, strawberries and nasturtiums directly in the bed. Both the tree and the occupants of the bed are high yielders. Between this apple and its neighbor, a nectarine, I have a large veggie bed and in the nectarine bed I have a variety of garlic and onion varieties.

The key is to make sure you leave yourself room for picking/maintenance and planning what you plant. Some common veggie pests can also attack fruit trees and vice versa, so avoid planting these together and creating a buggy buffet. Instead chose plants which repels pests. The nasturtiums, alliums, and lavender were all included for this reason.

When the tree fills in and starts creating a lot of shade switch to more shade tolerant plants. I have a pawpaw that's very full and created a dead spot, so I planted heritage red raspberries, American ginseng, spearmint, ginger, and turmeric with rhubarb around the very outside so it's sort of half shade. It's a fun little experiment. I obviously have to replant the ginger and turmeric every year but everything lives quite well together. The spearmint wants desperately to take over but the lack of sun and strength of its neighbors keeps it in check.

Anyway, research and plan and it should go just fine.

Good luck
Are both trees in the red and gold special collection # 29106 spur type?
Nola H on Mar 1, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The Starkrimson?? Red Delicious tree in this collection has a spur-bearing habit. The Stark?? Golden Delicious is semi-spur bearing and highly productive but, if you wanted a truly spur-bearing Golden Delicious, I'd recommend the one called Starkspur?? Golden Delicious instead.

Trees in the desert
I have an orchard that I have established over the years buying fruit trees from Stark Bros. They have been planted in the worst soil ever; alkali and clay. I put some soil conditioner in the holes before planting but can't improve all the dirt. Anyway, the trees are doing wonderful and we have had an overabundance of peaches, apples and pears this year. The new apple trees that I have planted are starting to make shade (a good thing when the temp is 104). I order my trees with confidence from Stark Bros. Sydney Peterson

New customer and fruit tree planter
I have never written a review for any company before. Ever. This is my first time planting fruit trees and recently ordered the golden and red delicious combo from StarkBros and a peach tree. I was hesitant since being a novice to bare root trees and when they arrived I was extremely nervous. I received my trees quickly after ordering and have them in the ground following the easy instructions, and now just barely a month later all 3 trees are looking wonderful and leafing already. I will buy more products from Stark in the future, without a doubt.

Thriving
this pair of young apples are going into their second season with me. They are thriving and appear to be well rooted.
My first Stark fruit trees were planted 31 years ago, and many have aged out. these are part of an ongoing replacement program.

Young tree
I think I planted this last year or the year before. Can't wait to get some fruit. It did have blossoms on it several weeks ago so i am keeping my fingers crossed.
