Why plant Gibson Yellow Delicious Apple Bare Root?

If you're a fan of the classic Yellow Delicious Apple but find yourself turned off by its tendency to russet (re: brown scarring), perhaps it's time to consider the Gibson Yellow Delicious Apple (AKA Smoothee Golden Delicious). This improved Golden Delicious has all the same perks as the regular Golden Delicious - honey-sweet flavor, long shelf-life, and crisp, juicy texture - however, the skin remains smooth and blemish free. The fruits of the Gibson Yellow Delicious check all the 'uses' boxes too: baking, cider, juice, applesauce, drying, canning, and freezing! What CAN'T this Apple do!?

How To Plant Gibson Yellow Delicious Apple Bare Root

The Gibson Yellow Delicious Apple Tree is partially self-fertile, meaning that it will set some fruit without another pollinator around, but harvests will be more generous with a suitable apple tree. Plant your tree in a sunny, open, well-drained site and water regularly. As far as Apple Trees go, this apple tree is fairly easy to grow and reliably produces heavy crops.

How To Water

Water deeply, and regularly during its first few years in the ground. Irrigate weekly, and especially during prolonged dry spells or extreme heat after it’s established. It is essential to water your apple tree 2-3 times a week, applying the water slowly to go deeper to the root system.

How To Fertilize

Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.

How To Prune

Always promptly remove and destroy any diseased branches, leaves, or fruit from your Apple tree and around the base. Leaving those in place could cause reinfection the following year.
