‘Golden Dorsett’ Apple Tree is an excellent choice for southern climates. This popular variety was raised by Mrs. Dorsett in The Bahamas in the 1950s. It is one of a very small group of apple varieties that can flourish in tropical climates, due to its exceptionally low chilling requirement of 250-300 hours.
‘Golden Dorsett’ produces medium to large fruit that is firm, smooth and has a sweet, tart flavor. This apple has crisp flesh and yellow skin with an orange-red blush. It typically ripens from mid-June to early July and prefers a slightly shaded location. ‘Golden Dorsett’ trees mature quickly and will start fruiting in their second year.
This apple tree requires a pollinator such as Anna or Golden Delicious.
