Plant your own classic orchard favorite with 240 Red Delicious Apple (Malus pumila “Red Delicious”) seeds. One of the most recognized apple varieties in the world, this vigorous and productive tree produces medium to large apples with deep red skin and crisp, sweet white flesh. Best enjoyed fresh, Red Delicious apples are valued for their refreshing flavor and beautiful appearance.

In spring, the tree is covered in fragrant white blossoms that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. In autumn, fruit ripens in October alongside attractive golden-yellow fall foliage, making this tree both productive and ornamental.

Red Delicious is a high-chill variety requiring approximately 800 chilling hours for proper fruit set. For best harvest results, plant near another apple variety for cross-pollination. Trees typically begin fruiting around their third year and may remain productive for decades. Ideal for home orchards, espalier, bonsai projects, patio planting, or as a specimen landscape tree.
