Martin Schuster, apple grower from Vetzan/Vezzano, about the Red Delicious
The Red Delicious can probably be described as a "fashion apple" among all the varieties: both the shape and the very striking dark red colour make this apple, which has an ideal optical shape, a real eye-catcher. This variety feels particularly at home on the higher slopes and mountain sides with a cooler climate.
