The Red Delicious apple tree is a fast grower and can grow more than 24″ per year. It is a mid-season bloomer in late April or early May with fragrant white flowers. This tree is a heavy producer and will keep you supplied with apples for months to come. Red Delicious produces large, firm, dark red fruit that is sweet and juicy making it perfect for eating fresh, baking and canning.
Plant in full sun and well-drained loamy soil. This tree grows well in slightly acidic soil and does not tolerate long drought periods. Most apple trees do best with a slightly acidic soil pH in the range of 5.0 to 6.8. The Red Delicious requires cross-pollination. It’s essential to plant another apple tree nearby for successful fruit production. Fuji, Gala and Golden Delicious are considered good pollinating partners.
