Enjoy an early and abundant harvest with the Dorsett Golden Apple Tree! Perfect for warmer climates, this Southern favorite thrives in high temperatures while also withstanding cold snaps down to -10°F. In the right conditions, this versatile tree can even produce up to two additional harvests annually, offering year-round potential in milder areas.

  • Early Bloomer: Among the first apple varieties to bloom, often as early as mid-January in warmer regions, ensuring a head start on the growing season.
  • Generous Harvest: Expect a bounty of large, golden apples as early as late June, with the potential for multiple crops in ideal conditions.
  • Amazing Flavor: Imagine the classic sweetness of a Golden Delicious apple enhanced with subtle notes of vanilla and just the right touch of sweetness. The Dorsett Golden delivers the taste and crisp texture of a fall apple, even in early summer, without the sharp berry-like tang of other summer varieties.
  • Low-Maintenance: Naturally resistant to most diseases, this hassle-free apple tree is as easy to care for as it is rewarding.

Whether you’re in a warmer climate or looking for a tree that delivers big flavor and consistent results, the Dorsett Golden Apple Tree is an excellent choice for your home orchard. Enjoy sweet, delicious apples sooner—and longer!
