Why We Grow It

We grow Red Delicious not only for its iconic appearance and fresh eating appeal but also for its role in orchards as a dependable producer of attractive, long-lasting apples that have become synonymous with the classic North American apple.

How the Plant Grows

The tree itself grows with a spreading canopy and moderate vigor, producing dependable crops with proper care.

Plant Size

1-3 feet, 1 year old

Additional Info

The fruit of Red Delicious is medium to large, with a glossy, deep red skin and a conical shape. Its crisp texture and mild sweetness make it ideal for fresh eating, salads, and as a snack apple. However, it is less commonly used for cooking or baking due to its delicate flavor and tendency to soften when cooked.

The Red Delicious Apple (Malus domestica), one of the most iconic apple varieties, is known for its deep red skin and mild, sweet flavor. Originating in Iowa in the 1870s, this variety became a staple in American orchards for its appealing appearance and long shelf life.
