Red Delicious Apple

Red Delicious Apple — Specialty Orchard Tree

A familiar red dessert apple with crisp fruit under favorable conditions.

Can this grow in Orange County?

Its typical winter-chill needs may make low-chill coastal locations less reliable. Our microclimate-based orchard planning considers winter chill, sun, summer temperatures and drainage; a variety may be growable without cropping reliably every year.

Pollination and fruiting

An overlapping compatible apple helps achieve good fruit set. Actual tree age, height, branching, fruiting condition and crop potential vary with nursery stock and training; details are checked before payment.

Planting and care

Plant in good drainage and a sunny location, with appropriate spacing, mulch, establishment irrigation and seasonal pruning. Dormant bare trees may arrive leafless. We can assist with design, irrigation, installation and continuing organic care.

How reservation works

Choose a container size to submit a reservation request. We verify stock, plant condition and shipping or delivery logistics before taking payment. Delivery and installation are additional.
