Golden Delicious

Description

Golden Delicious is a classic quintessential apple prized for its balanced blend of sugar and acidity creating a mild sweet and rich tangy taste. They are a versatile apple used for fresh consumption, culinary uses, cider, juices and sparkling beverages. The apples are slow to brown making them a popular choice for deserts and salads. They’re cold hardy and are suitable for Zone 4 and up and are resistant to scab, powdery mildew, and fire blight. Their attractive yellow skin along with their versatility make them one of the top selling apple varieties.
