Apple ‘Golden Delicious’ (Mini Fruit Tree)

Apple ‘Golden Delicious’ is a versatile garden variety for the warmer parts of the UK, which can be used both as a dessert and cooking apple. This easy to grow variety produces good yields of attractive golden-green apples that store well over a long period after harvesting.

• Apple rootstocks:
• M27 – Extreme dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 1.5m (5′)

• M6 – Semi dwarf reaching a mature height of up to 3m (10′)
