The large, golden fruit of the yellow delicious apple tree ripens late, developing a fine, sweet flavor. While they are best known as fresh eating apples, yellow delicious also work well for pies, applesauce and preserves. They also store well, keeping 3–6 months if refrigerated. Dwarf (G.16 rootstock) and semi-dwarf (M.111 rootstock) available.
Apples grow best with full sun in well drained average to loamy soil, but respond to enriched soil with better production. They prefer a slightly acidic soil pH in the range of 5.0 to 6.8. Plant in an area where there is good air circulation. Apple trees are not self-fruitful which means they require another apple tree of a different variety nearby to pollinate.
