GOLDEN DELICIOUS

The Golden Delicious apple was found as a seedling in West Virginia, USA, in the 1880's. The tree is in full bloom from early to mid-October and the fruit is harvested from late February to mid-March. It is a medium to large apple, green when harvested, ripening to a golden yellow colour. The skin has conspicuous lenticels. The flesh is green-white and crisp and the taste is sweet, fragrant and juicy. It is a superb eating apple. It is very good for baking, holding its shape, and excellent for use in salads. In certain areas and under specific climatic conditions the Golden Delicious has a delicate pink blush.
