The Golden Delicious Apple tree produces a golden fruit that is sweet and juicy with a classic white texture. The delicate texture of this apple delivers it as a wonderful dessert apple, or as an accompaniment to cheeses or sliced pieces to spread over a fresh arugula salad. This apple originated in West Virginia and is such an outstanding favorite apple that in 1955, by senate vote, the Golden Delicious apple became the official state fruit of West Virginia.
