Golden Delicious was discovered by a West Virginia farmer at the end of the 19th century. It is an easy to grow, heirloom apple with heavy crops, and the fruit keeps well in storage for a long time.
When allowed to ripen to its classic golden color on the tree the true flavour is revealed - very sweet and rich. It is also a versatile apple. It can be used for dessert or cooking. Golden Delicious is self-fertile and crops late in the season. It produces on tips and spurs. Requires chilling hours to set fruit.
