Apple fruit seedlings – Golden delicious

The Golden Delicious apple, ripening in the second half of September, is one of the leading varieties with a rich heritage and distinctive taste. The tree of this apple initially shows vigor, but later, under the weight of the fruits, becomes medium-sized in vigor.

The fruits are medium to large, conical in shape, with a skin that is green-yellow in storage, turning to a straw-yellow color. The flesh is yellow, sweet, and dessert-like, but not very intense in flavor due to the dominance of sugars over acids. Although the taste may not be spectacular, Golden Delicious stands out for its juiciness and texture.

The flower is frost-resistant, making this variety a reliable choice for orchards. It is widely cultivated in plantations due to its productivity and adaptability to different conditions. However, it is sensitive to sprays with sulfur and copper-based preparations.

Golden Delicious is a diploid variety and an excellent pollinator. The Idared and Granny Smith varieties have proven to be good pollinators, contributing to abundant and high-quality yields. This combination ensures pollination and fertility, further contributing to the successful cultivation of this exceptional apple variety.

The Golden Delicious apple, with its tradition and reliability, continues to win the hearts of fruit lovers worldwide, standing out as a top choice in the fruit industry.

Available on rootstocks: M9, M26, and MM106.
