RED DELICIOUS APPLE TREE SEMI-DWARF 5gal

Imagine walking into your backyard and picking a crisp, sweet Red Delicious apple right off your own branch. This iconic, heart-shaped fruit is a beloved favorite for fresh eating, and growing it at home is incredibly rewarding. Because this is a semi-dwarf variety, it is perfectly sized for the everyday gardener, reaching a manageable 12 to 15 feet tall and wide without the need for towering ladders.

It thrives in the bright sunshine of zones 7 and 8, requiring full sun to produce the sweetest, most abundant autumn harvest. Keep in mind that deer and rabbits love these tasty trees just as much as we do, so you will definitely need to protect the trunk and lower branches with a wire cage while the tree establishes itself. 

Give your new apple tree the absolute best start by blending your garden's native soil with Watters Premium Mulch to retain essential moisture and improve drainage. Feed your tree right at planting and throughout the growing season with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to encourage strong roots and a heavy yield of juicy apples year after year.
