Malus Domestica- “Red Delicious”

Malus domestica, commonly known as the apple tree, is a deciduous fruit tree prized for its beautiful spring blossoms and delicious fall harvest. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, apple trees grow best with consistent moisture and benefit from regular pruning. Depending on the variety and rootstock, trees can range from 10 to 30 feet tall. Their fragrant white to pale pink blooms appear in spring, attracting pollinators before giving way to crisp, flavorful apples in late summer or fall. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8, apple trees are a classic and rewarding addition to edible landscapes.
