When picked at peak ripeness, its sweet, tangy flavor carries a hint of spice, making it perfect for fresh eating. Beyond its delicious fruit, this variety is also a top choice for pollination. Golden Delicious is self-pollinating, meaning it can produce fruit on its own, but it also serves as an excellent pollinator for other apple varieties like Honeycrisp, Pixie Crunch, Sundance, Sweet Sixteen, and Baker’s Delight.
Often referred to as a “rooster” tree for its strong pollination abilities, it’s a great addition to any orchard. Its fruits ripen from mid-September to early October. Suitable for Zones 4-7.
