Malus domestica 'Delicious Rouge', also known as 'Red Delicious', is an apple tree renowned for its elongated apples with glossy dark red skin and crisp, juicy, and sweet white flesh. These fruits are primarily eaten fresh, prized for their sweetness and firm texture, although they are less suitable for cooking. 'Delicious Rouge' produces abundantly and has good storage capacity. It is not self-fertile and requires the presence of another compatible variety to ensure good pollination. Its spring flowering is ornamental and beneficial to pollinating insects. Easy to grow in temperate climates with well-drained soil, this cultivar is an orchard classic for its regularity, beauty, and the sweet flavor of its apples.
