Height After
Pruning:
Heights listed on our site are measured after pruning.

Several of our competitors list sizes before they prune then cut off several feet before shipping. While this reduces their shipping cost, it gives their customer a shorter tree than purchased initially. The tree will likely need an extra year to grow back lost branches and to produce fruit.

Our trees are pruned throughout their lives. This process takes us longer, but gives you more branches, more fruit, and quicker production. The size we advertise is what you receive after pruning. Since we do not include the roots in our height measurements, like many nurseries do, you get even more value.

5-6 ft trees are typically one year older than our 2-4 ft ones and will usually give you fruit the first full season.

Grow low maintenance fruit, right in your own backyard... organically!

• One of the country's most popular apples
• Produces organically grown apples in record time
• Disease resistant

These apples are extra juicy, crisp, and sweet! Not a trace of bitterness or tartness. Great for baking or making delicious desserts.

This fast grower is the perfect tree for the impatient apple lover... because you won't be waiting long for your fruit. Some trees have already produced apples out in our nursery!

You can even grow your Yellow Delicious apples organically... meaning you don't have to bother with pesticides. Just pick 'em right off the branch for a quick snack.

Their tender skin makes them easy to bite into… rewarding you with a delicious flavor that's a fall favorite.

Yellow Delicious Apples are great for storage…just pick them when they're ripe and snack for months! Easy to grow and disease resistant!

They are normally planted in pairs so they can pollinate each other. This pollination causes your tree to produce more fruit! Pair up your Yellow Delicious with Gala, Red Fuji or Granny Smith apple trees for best pollination.

It's critical that you purchase an apple tree that is already "branched" from a nursery that knows how to prune its young trees. This trains your apple tree to grow more branches. More branches mean more fruit, earlier production, stronger limbs and a healthier tree.

Most nurseries sell tall, skinny stems with no branches – commonly referred to as "whips." They can take several years to fruit and will generally be less productive when mature.

Yellow Delicious Trees from Fast Growing Trees are pruned back and trained to develop an advanced branching structure. This process means more work and an extra year for us, but the difference you experience is dramatic.

Yellow Delicious Apple Tree Pollination

Yellow Delicious Apple Trees are partially self-fertile. However, you will receive a much larger crop if pollinated by the following apple trees...
       
•  Gala Apple Tree •  Jonathan Apple Tree
•  Fuji Apple Tree •  McIntosh Apple Tree
•  Granny Smith Apple Tree •  Pink Lady Apple Tree
  •  Red Delicious Apple Tree
   
Crab Apple Trees also make some of the best pollinators for Fruiting Apple Trees. Because they bloom for a long period of time and produce an abundance of pollen that are compatible with most Fruiting Apple Tree varieties.

For more information on apple pollination, view our Apple Pollination Guide.

It's Easy to Plant your Yellow Delicious Apple Tree
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Yellow Delicious Apple Tree. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.


Step 2 - Place Your Tree
Next, separate the roots of your Yellow Delicious Apple Tree gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Yellow Delicious Apple Tree again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

By: Erik T
I bought my Yellow Delicious Apple tree in June or July of 2011, it has grow well and has apples already, in fact I need to thin them out because there are too many! Great tree! Bought with a Gala for cross pollination.

By: John Hopkins
I bought a yellow dwarf few years back. The tree has grown like heck and is also very hardy. We lost the siding on our home from a hale storm that beat all the trees we own, but my yellow did well even with the all the damage. I don't understand though why one year this tree produces lots of apples and the next none? That's actually what brought me to web site. (reseach).
