(Super Dwarf) Malus Domestica 'Golden Delicious' (Apple Golden Delicious)
(Super Dwarf) Malus Domestica 'Golden Delicious' (Apple Golden Delicious) is a compact, columnar apple tree known for its sweet and crisp apples with a smooth, golden-yellow skin. The fruit has a mild, honeyed flavour and is perfect for fresh eating, making juices, and baking. Despite its small size, this variety produces high-quality apples with excellent flavour, making it a great choice for home gardens and smaller spaces.
With its naturally upright and narrow growth habit, Apple Golden Delicious requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape. In early spring, it produces white blossoms, adding ornamental value while attracting pollinators for fruit production. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is a low-maintenance, self-fertile variety. The apples ripen in late autumn, providing a reliable and delicious harvest.
As a super dwarf variety, Apple Golden Delicious remains compact and is perfect for small gardens, pots, or urban spaces, offering the full flavour of traditional Golden Delicious apples in a manageable size.
