Description
Nobody else has this glorious crimson beauty here...Nobody! The most popular Red Delicious in orchards everywhere! We’re the ones who introduced the very first Red Delicious 110 years ago! And today this cultivar is tops for productivity and fruit availability. Ask any orchardist. This is positively the most popular of all Red Delicious varieties. This tree has it all! Here are perfect-looking, good-eatin’ apples from a tree that’s unusually rugged. (Are your winters brutal? The following year you’ll still have a treeload of sweet, 4" plump Starkrimson Red Delicious apples to eat.) Cross-pollinate with Starkspur Golden Delicious, Starkspur Red Rome Beauty or Stark Jon-A-Red. Ripens late September in Zone 5, grows well in Zones 5-8. Starkrimson fruit keeps well. Serve ’em as desserts or snacks and your friends will keep comin’ back for more!
