Apple ‘Red Delicious’ – Freshly Potted*
A medium, upright deciduous fruiting tree which requires pollination for fruit development. Apple Red Delicious produces long slender stems with elliptic deep green leaves which change colour in Autumn. Will require annual pruning once the foliage has dropped in Winter. This will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality. Produces medium to large conical fruit, with pronounced crowns at the base and ruby-red skin. The flesh is creamy-white, firm and crisp, great flavour. This is an ideal tree for large gardens, food gardens or as a feature tree. Grows best in humus-rich soil which is well-draining.
