Product page > Variant picker block.Gold Rush is a late season apple that is “cousin” to Golden Delicious that is noted for its crisp, hard flesh and intense flavor with hints of lemon. It has an intense, tart, spicy taste that makes it a winner both for fresh eating and for baked apple dishes. Arguably the best apple for food plots and wildlife. The tree is resistant to Scab, Mildew, and Fireblight. Gold Rush is best grown in zones 5-8 and is pollinated with Red Fuji & Gala Apple Trees. Mature height is 12-16' so it's a good semi dwarf variety. Our apple trees are 3 year trees that our sold in 5 gallon lines and are approximately 6' tall and have a trunk of approximately 1.5".
Because fruit trees often require cross pollination, we offer our five gallon size fruit trees at a "buy two trees and get an additional 15% off" for customers enrolled in our rewards program (excluding fruit bearing cherry trees).
