Start your home orchard with this set of 2 Golden Delicious Apple Trees, shipped bare root and approximately 18–24 inches tall. This classic apple variety is loved for its sweet flavor, crisp texture, and beautiful golden-yellow fruit.

Golden Delicious apples are extremely versatile and perfect for fresh eating, baking, sauces, and preserves. The fruit ripens in early to mid fall, producing large, firm apples with a balanced sweet and slightly tart flavor.

In spring, these trees produce stunning white blossoms that attract pollinators and add beauty to any garden. As the season progresses, lush green foliage develops before giving way to a generous harvest of delicious apples.
