For those of you who are down on Golden Delicious.....I have one tree, and so does the next-door-neighbor.  Although those apples aren't cosmetically attractive (here, they are all covered with flyspeck and sooty mold), the flavor is outstanding---nothing at all like the Golden Delicious one finds in stores, which are grown mostly in Washington State.  In fact, they are some of the best apples I have ever eaten.  I often eat 5 or 6 at a time!  Ours are sprightly, tangy, extremely sweet, and very juicy.  They crop reliably every year, and aren't bothered by scab.  Over all, they are a top choice apple for our area.  When I moved here, I was very surprised at how much better local Golden Delicous apples were, compared to what I was used to.

Hello Addicts;

I have all the text book descriptions of these apples, but they may leave out such things as, 'not precocious, bad keeper, apple maggot magnet, drops fruit too early, grows slow, poor crotch angles, whatever.

 

These apples will be for Roadside Sale for fresh eating, and the leftovers go into the cider press. I am going to buy about 20 trees; maybe 30, on M111 or EMLA 7 stock.

I have no plans to buy 'cider' apples.

 

Thanks in advance for your opinions, good or bad.

 

Murph
