Malus domestica 'DELIKATES' apple - medium early

Delikates is a Polish variety of medium early apple. Apples are small to mid-sized, rounded, the skin is thin, pale yellow-green with red blush on insolated parts. The flesh is white, firm, moderately acidic, very aromatic and very juicy. It can be stored until December.

It is self-sterile and needs a pollinator such as Braeburn, Fuji, Gala, Gloster, Golden Delicious, Reine des Reinettes, Royal Gala, Honeycrisp, Kent, James Grieve, Red Delicious, Starking, Spartan.

Apple trees will grow in almost any well-drained soil but for best results provide them with deep, fertile soil and keep it moist at least 6 months after transplanting, and in early summer when fruit is formed. Pruning can be done in frost-free periods of winter but it grows best being left to its own devices. Hardy to min. -29 °C (USDA zone 5).
