Yellow Delicious Apple Tree
Description
Add a close relative of the Golden Delicious to your victory garden!
The Yellow Delicious Apple tree bears large, sweet, crisp, apples that ripen later in the season compared to the Golden Delicious. These kid-approved apples are best eaten fresh and are also perfect for homemade applesauce, cobblers and pies! As a bonus, the fruit stores well – up to 3-6 months if refrigerated!
This classic apple is ideal for backyard orchards and gardens. The Yellow Delicious is a widely adaptable and vigorous fruit tree that shows resistance to common apple tree diseases.
Apple trees do their best in full sun with well-drained soil. See our growing guide to learn how to best take care of your new apple tree.
