As with other apples, you will need to plant two different varieties for pollination and heavy fruit set. The unique and tasty Blushing Delight Apple features loads of pretty, magenta-pink buds that open to white flowers that are followed by green apples flushed with red. The flavorful, crisp, juicy fruits have a light, sweet taste, which makes them perfect for fresh-eating right off the tree. With a stately upright form, beautiful flowers, fast growth rate, and pretty fruits, Blushing Delight is sure to be a captivating conversation piece and, as its name suggests, an edible delight as well.
