Apple x 'Smoothee': A Golden Dessert Apple Worth Waiting For

Smoothee is an improved Golden Delicious selection with yellow fruit that may carry a red blush. Its flavour and storage quality reward waiting until the apples have turned fully yellow, usually around early October.

Plant Characteristics:

• Flower Colour: White, Pale Pink
• Flowering Period: Spring
• Foliage: Green
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun
• Soil Requirements: Average to Dry Soil; Well-Drained Soil

Uses and Benefits: Choose it for fresh dessert apples and a useful stored harvest. The golden crop extends picking beyond many September varieties.

Care Instructions: Arrange compatible apple pollination and keep the tree open to sunlight. Thin excessive crops and leave the apples to develop their full yellow colour before picking, rather than harvesting them while still green.
