5 Gallon Golden Dorset Apple

This versatile apple variety thrives in Zones 5-9 and produces medium to large fruits with distinctive golden-yellow skin and crisp, sweet-tart flesh ready for harvest in late August through September. The Golden Dorset requires approximately 400-500 chill hours and cross-pollination from a compatible apple variety blooming simultaneously to ensure reliable fruit set. Prized equally for fresh consumption, culinary applications, and juice production, this cultivar also serves as an effective pollinator for other apple trees while contributing ornamental value to the landscape.
