Low stem 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Golden Delicious apple tree is a popular fruit tree that produces medium sized, golden yellow apples with a sweet, mild flavour and juicy texture. This tree grows well in sunny locations and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Golden Delicious is partly self-pollinating, but for a better fruit yield cross-pollination with other apple varieties such as Granny Smith or Gala is recommended. The tree requires regular pruning in late winter or early spring to encourage growth and prevent disease. The apples are usually harvested from September to October. Golden Delicious is suitable for fresh consumption, baking, and as an ingredient in various dishes.

Low stem means that the tree is grafted onto a slow growing rootstock, which means that the trees bear fruit faster and grow less tall. The advantages of this are that they are suitable for smaller (vegetable) gardens, so that you can grow more varieties in the same space. It is also handy that you can harvest easily, safely and without a long ladder.

In the fall, the soil is still warm and moist, which means the trees will take root well in the soil. Plants that are planted in the fall have a better developed root system than plants that are planted in the spring. They will also grow better and can better withstand periods of drought. Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted all year round.
