Grow your own orchard favorite with 480 Red Delicious Apple (Malus pumila “Red Delicious”) seeds. This well-known and widely loved apple variety produces medium to large fruit with deep red skin and crisp, sweet white flesh. Best enjoyed fresh, Red Delicious apples are valued for their refreshing flavor and attractive appearance.

In spring, the tree is covered with fragrant white blossoms that attract bees and other pollinators. By October, apples ripen just as the foliage turns a beautiful golden yellow, making this tree both ornamental and productive.

Red Delicious is a high-chill variety requiring approximately 800 chilling hours for reliable fruit production. For best results, plant near another apple variety for cross-pollination. Trees generally begin fruiting around the third year and can remain productive for many decades. Ideal for home orchards, wildlife gardens, espalier training, bonsai projects, patio trees, or landscape planting.
