The Sweet "Honey" Apple - Despite the name, the Golden Delicious is not related to the Red Delicious. It is a productive, easy-to-grow tree with a moderately spreading habit. In design, its lighter green foliage and yellow fruit provide a beautiful Colour Contrast against darker evergreens like Sweet Viburnum.
