Red Delicious Apple Tree

The Red Delicious Apple is a backyard favorite, prized for its easy growth and reliable harvests. In spring, pink buds open into creamy white blossoms before giving way to crisp, sweet, bright red apples ripening from September to October. This semi-dwarf tree reaches 15-20 feet tall and wide, thriving in zones 4-8 with well-drained soil and full sun. For the best fruit set, plant near a Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, or a crab apple tree. With minimal care—regular watering, spring fertilizing, and cross-pollination—it brings orchard charm and delicious flavor to any landscape!
