Golden Delicious apple trees produce sweet, mellow yellow apples that are perfect for fresh eating, baking, and applesauce. These self-pollinating trees are reliable producers and thrive in a variety of climates, making them a favorite for home orchards. With their crisp texture and honeyed flavor, MicroStarts' Golden Delicious apple fruit trees are a versatile classic.

Your Golden Delicious apple tree is grafted (ensuring true-to-type fruit) and ships in a Jumbo Ellepot - an eco-friendly, ready-to-plant paper sleeve. These trees are not bare root.

Golden Delicious apples are sweet, juicy, and crisp with a smooth yellow skin.

Our rootstock is propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants. These trees have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.

Planting & Care

These trees are grafted to ensure they produce fruits that are true to type, matching the quality, flavor, and characteristics of their parent variety.

Ellepots promote healthy, air-pruned root systems and can be planted directly into the ground. If you purchase an Ellepot plant, no need to remove the biodegradable sleeve - it can be planted straight in the ground!

Golden Delicious apple trees are self-pollinating, but benefit when paired with other pollinator apple trees (such as Gala or Granny Smith).

Taller trees will be cut down to 34” prior to shipping. Trees shipped in winter are dormant and leafless, and naturally awaken in spring.
