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.

As far as we can tell the tree was planted around 60 years ago. We have been taking the old trees and releasing them.

Good apples though. The skin is thinner then the current variety and it is much juicier. Still looks like a cartoon apple but with flavor.
