Red Delicious is America's most famous apple type. Its long shape, five-point crown, and deep red skin make it easy to tell apart from other apples. Thriving in Zones 5-8, this classic cultivar produces medium to large fruit with mildly sweet, aromatic flavor ideal for fresh eating and lunch boxes. The trees grow straight up and are strong, reaching heights of 12 to 18 feet. The harvest takes place from mid-September to early October. To pollinate Red Delicious, you need to cross it with other types like Gala, Fuji, or Granny Smith. Even though people today prefer tarter, crisper types, Red Delicious is still popular because it lasts a long time (4–6 months), looks great, and is easy to grow. The thick skin makes it very durable for shipping, so it's great for business use. Simple to grow, resistant to disease, and produces steady amounts of fruit.
