About the Starkspur® DixieRed® Delicious Apple

The Starkspur® DixieRed® Delicious Apple is a Southern-bred, spur-type Red Delicious developed to thrive in warmer climates. This reliable fruit tree produces large, deep red apples with crisp, juicy flesh and a sweet-tart flavor, perfect for fresh eating, baking, and sauces. Spur-bearing means the tree produces fruit on short, sturdy branches, allowing for earlier, more consistent harvests and easier picking.

Originally selected for its adaptability and long storage life, DixieRed ripens in early to mid-September, offering an early-to-mid season treat for southern orchards and home gardens alike. It thrives in full sun with medium, well-draining soil and is hardy in USDA Zones 5–8.

How to Grow the Starkspur® DixieRed® Delicious Apple

Plant in a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing trees according to their mature size for proper airflow. Prune regularly to maintain shape, remove dead wood, and encourage strong fruiting spurs. Thin fruit early in the season to improve size and quality, and provide consistent water during dry periods. DixieRed requires a compatible pollination partner to ensure a full crop. With proper care, this vigorous, medium-small tree delivers productive harvests year after year.
