Apple fruit seedlings – Red delicious
The Red Delicious apple ripens in the second half of September and is a true delicacy among fruit varieties due to its exceptional aroma and attractive appearance. The tree is vigorous, especially in its early years, which requires proper care and support to ensure healthy growth and fertility.
The fruits are medium to large in size, with a rounded-cup shape, and have a pinkish skin that makes them particularly appealing. The flesh is yellowish, sweet, with a unique aroma that sets this variety apart. Red Delicious flowers moderately early and briefly, allowing it to adapt to various climatic conditions.
This variety is sensitive to winter and spring frosts, as well as deficiencies in Mg, Mn, and Zn, and root suffocation, but it is resistant to powdery mildew, making it a reliable choice for orchards. Golden Delicious is required for pollination. Red Delicious grows best on weakly vigorous rootstocks, where it achieves optimal growth and fertility.
It can be stored in refrigeration until March, allowing for extended sales and consumption. With its exceptional aroma and attractive appearance, Red Delicious 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.
