Red Delicious apple trees produce excellent crops of bright red, large, and crunchy apples. The flesh is greenish-white with a crisp texture, making them perfect for enjoying straight off the tree. These apples are medium to large in size, with a medium sweetness and juicy, highly aromatic flesh. The skin ranges from crimson to dark red, and they are typically harvested in February. Skip your trip to the grocery store and invest in your own Red Delicious Apple tree! This tree also produces long, slender stems with elliptic deep green leaves that transform into beautiful autumn colours. For optimal fruit quality, annual pruning is required once the foliage drops in winter. This encourages a stronger branching framework, better airflow through the canopy, and overall improved fruit quality.
