Description

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.

Have had excellent results in the past with Stark Brothers trees, so I continue to use them.

I have ordered from Stark Bros before and am very happy. I wanted a golden delicious to serve as a pollinator for my other apples.

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: It does not hurt a tree at all - unless the tree has been established and you dig into the root system. Otherwise, the garden will have a variety of flowers on the plants which may help bring in more pollinators for the tree and vice-versa.
Does red delicious need a pollinator?
Gail H on Jan 9, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it does. Golden Delicious does not.
I live in zone 4a, Can I plant a tree from zone 5 in my area?
JAY S on Oct 6, 2018
BEST ANSWER: If Zone 4 falls within the range of the zones recommended for a given variety, it will work in your area. For example, if a tree is zoned for 4-8, that will work. If it's zoned for 5-8, it will not.
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.

Great tree
Trees always come packaged well. Once planted they sprout right out. The tree looks good and growing well. I would definitely recommend your trees!

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.

Extremely Pleased!
I am unable to say enough of how pleased I was with this collection. I am looking forward to when they begin to produce fruits. The Honeycrisp took some time to show life after planting, yet is appears to be doing well. And, With the hopes, Deer to stay away from them to return to showing life this season.

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.
