Apple 'Golden Delicious' is suitable for desserts and functions as an excellent pollinator for other apple trees. The fruit is green-yellow, but it turns yellow as it ages, and the apples taste honeyed and very sweet when they ripen well. The fruit becomes ripe in late autumn, and the pink buds transform into white flowers during spring. While Apple 'Golden Delicious' is self-fertile, planting it with Apple 'Fuji', Apple 'Gala', or Apple 'Red Delicious' can lead to better crops. Apple is deciduous and native to Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and China. Apple 'Golden Delicious' was discovered at the Mullins' family farm in Clay County, West Virginia, United States and was first sold in 1914 by Stark Brothers Nurseries in Louisiana, Missouri, United States.

Pollination: Self-fertile — crops well on its own, no second tree needed.

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
