And even dwarf apple trees are about eight feet tall.

Granted that is quite a bit shorter then the twenty footer old breeds we have.

We have trees so old even the Red Delicious still tastes good. :)

That’s OLD.

I do hear that Red Delicious used to be a great variety.

The newer ones, though. N UGH. Mushy, mealy, and tasteless.

However they do work well with other varieties to create new one, like Galas, which I hear a a cross using Red Delicious.
