Dorsett Golden Apple (Malus domestica) – Low-Chill Apple Tree

Product Description

Buy Dorsett Golden Apple trees for sale — a highly productive low-chill apple variety prized for its sweet flavor, crisp texture, and excellent performance in warm Southern climates. Originally discovered in the Bahamas, Dorsett Golden is one of the most reliable apple trees for areas that do not receive long periods of winter cold.

Dorsett Golden produces medium to large golden-yellow apples with a red blush and a sweet, refreshing flavor. The crisp fruit is excellent for fresh eating, baking, applesauce, and desserts. In spring, the tree is covered with beautiful pink and white blossoms that attract bees and other pollinators before developing an abundant early-season crop of apples.

This vigorous and productive tree is a favorite among Southern fruit growers because it consistently produces quality fruit with low chilling requirements. Well adapted to North Florida, the Florida Panhandle, South Alabama, and other warm Southern climates, Dorsett Golden is an outstanding choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, and backyard fruit production.
