  1. Yellow Delicious Apple, also known as Golden Delicious Apple, is a popular cultivar of apple tree (Malus domestica). It is a deciduous fruit tree that typically reaches a height of 10-20 feet (3-6 meters) and spreads about 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) wide.

  2. Fruit: Yellow Delicious Apple produces medium to large-sized apples that are typically round or slightly elongated in shape. The fruit has a thin, smooth, and waxy skin that is golden yellow in color. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and has a sweet, honey-like flavor. It is excellent for fresh eating, baking, and making applesauce.

  3. Pollination: Yellow Delicious Apple is not self-pollinating, which means it requires cross-pollination from another apple tree to set fruit. It is often used as a pollinator for other apple varieties, and it is compatible with many different apple cultivars.
