Yellow Delicious apples are a great all-purpose apple with a delicious flavor. The apples ripen in September and October and are yellow when ripe. The large, golden fruit of the yellow delicious apple tree ripens late, developing a fine, sweet flavor. They can be eaten fresh, used for cooking or stored for a few months. While they are best known as fresh-eating apples, yellow delicious also work well for pies, applesauce and preserves. They also store well, keeping 3–6 months if refrigerated. For planting, apples trees prefer full Sun and slightly acidic soil. At maturity they can reach a height of 15 ft. to 20 ft. and a width of 15 ft. to 18 ft.
