Yellow Delicious Apple Tree

People all across the country want to grow their own apples for the outstanding flavor of tree-ripe fruit. It's a great feeling to be prepared; and really nice to know exactly what was sprayed on your crop, as well.

Add a Yellow Delicious Apple Tree (Malus x 'Yellow Delicious') to your landscape this season. It's self-pollinating, so you really only need one to enjoy a crop of versatile golden, pink-blushed good eating apples.

But if you add an early Apple tree variety, and a mid-season Apple tree variety, you'll have much larger crops from each tree. Enjoy a month of super-fresh apples from your very own orchard!

This hardy tree bears fruit in landscapes across the country. Cold-hardy, heat tolerant, and disease-resistant, this kid-friendly planted tree is an excellent choice.

A close relative of Golden Delicious Apple, his late season favorite is an excellent pollinizer for other trees. Your whole family will appreciate the sweet, crisp, juicy flesh as a snack straight from the tree.

Prep them for homemade applesauce, made just the way you like it best. Peel and slice with a few other varieties for outstanding pies, cobblers and tarts.

Why suffer through a bland, store-bought apple? Grow your own and enjoy the "real deal"...after all, nothing tastes quite so satisfying as fruit from your very own fruit picked at the peak of ripeness.

How to Use Yellow Delicious Apple Tree in the Landscape

Add fruiting trees to your Victory Garden as a productive (and beautiful) backdrop. This tree develops showy, golden orbs that are a lot of fun to watch.

They'll look great from the beautiful white flowers in early spring, to finished! Plant them in a high-traffic area to enjoy the show. You'll have pride developing an effective Edible Landscape that feeds yourself, family and friends.

If you only have room for one tree, allow the self-pollinating tree to grow to its full size and spread. Or, take the plunge with a high-density planting of 3 or 4 varieties grown in a single hole! Consider all these trees as a single tree with 4 trunks.

Manage the high-density planting with annual pruning for size control each summer. Don't let any one of the varieties "take over" the planting. Prune to keep them all in balance.

Yellow Delicious is one of the world's best pollinators for other varieties. Add an early and mid-season variety for a successive harvest of great-tasting fruit.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Apple trees require full sun, or at least six hours of direct sunlight for fruiting. Give Apple trees good air circulation, and well-drained soil.

Improve drainage by mounding up dirt in a heap that is 18 inches high and 3 feet wide. Plant directly in that mound, or add an attractive landscape border for a raised bed.

Conduct regular watering on a schedule. New trees need more attention, as do fruiting trees during drought conditions.

Apply a three-inch layer of mulch over the root system to cut down on surface evaporation. Please pull mulch back at least five inches from the trunk. You'll save money on water with regular application of wood mulch.

Correct shape by pruning in late winter while your tree is dormant. Remove crossing branches to open up the canopy before new growth appears. The goal is to increase sunlight and air circulation through the tree's branches and leaves.

Enjoy the sweet, crunchy fruit produced by your Yellow Delicious Apple tree. Just place your order soon, as we will sell out of this classic variety.
