Get Sweet, Delicious Apples...Without the Wait

Why Golden Delicious Apple Trees?

With our Golden Delicious, you’ll get low-maintenance fruit, right in your own backyard, organically and in record time. The Golden Delicious is one of the country’s most popular apples, and for good reason: Each bite of a Golden Delicious Apple is extra juicy and sweet.

Plus, our Golden Delicious Apple Tree is disease resistant, so not only is it an ultra-fast producer…it’s easy to grow without the aid of pesticides, too. These apples don’t have a trace of bitter flavor, so they’re perfect for cooking, baking or even picking and eating right off the branch.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Golden Delicious Trees shipped from our nursery 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: Faster, fresher fruit, consistent in size, color, shape and flavor from season to season.

Don’t wait – our Golden Delicious Apple Trees are in high demand for their amazing benefits and robust, delicious fruit. Get your own Golden Delicious today!

So far so good

We purchased a 4-5ft golden delicious to grow alongside and help pollinate our gala apple tree. It had a few broken branches and almost no foliage when it arrived in March, which made us a little wary. It seemed weeks behind the gala it arrived with, as the gala tree was covered in young leaves and buds when it arrived. However, we straightened and supported the main broken branch and now it and the other limbs are leafing out well and showing signs of new growth. It hasn't had any blooms but that's okay. I would rather it put its energy towards new roots and strengthening its branches, for now.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Mary, we’re sorry about the broken branches and will be sure to share this with the carrier. It’s great to hear you’ve supported it well, and you’re absolutely right that early energy often goes into root establishment. Let us know if you need any help!

A bit early to tell

We are just coming into Spring up here in Michigan. So, it's hard to say what they are going to look like, this early. But they look like the wintered really well. They have not yet leafed out. They are just starting to show signs of budding. The trunk and the branches all look really healthy. I caged all of them, as I have a fairly large deer population on my property. So they browse anything that is not protected. I am really looking forward to seeing what this years growth will look like. They grew a fair amount last Summer. As of now, they just look really healthy. Check back with me in a couple of months, and I will have a much better idea.

Trees

I guess the trees are still alive. After planting last fall they lost their leaves and showed no sign of growth. I just noticed a few buds appearing in the last few days. Too early to tell.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi John, we’re glad you reached out! What you’re seeing is normal seasonal dormancy. The appearance of buds is a great sign your trees are alive and beginning their spring growth cycle. With proper care, they should continue to develop nicely.
