Establish your own orchard with 960 Red Delicious Apple (Malus pumila “Red Delicious”) seeds. One of the most recognized apple varieties worldwide, Red Delicious produces medium to large apples with deep red skin and crisp, sweet white flesh. Best for fresh eating, this classic variety is prized for its refreshing flavor and market appeal.

In spring, trees are covered in fragrant white blossoms that attract pollinators and beneficial insects. In fall, fruit ripens in October alongside beautiful golden-yellow 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 maximum yields, plant near another apple variety for cross-pollination. Trees typically begin fruiting around the third year and can remain productive for decades. Excellent for orchards, homesteads, wildlife plantings, espalier training, bonsai, or as a landscape specimen.
