    This is the most widely grown apple in the world for its juicy, aromatic, sweet-tasting and glowing-red fruit. Forget the mealy grocery store versions, fresh 'Red Delicious' apples off your own tree are an incredible treat! Produced in September to October on a 12-16' upright, spreading trees; needs a pollinizer Granny Smith or Gala among others; thin for better fruit size; 900 chill hours. S/M
