{"product_id":"dorsett-gold-apple","title":"Dorsett Golden Apple","description":"\u003cp\u003eDorsett Golden is a low-chill apple well suited to mild-winter regions. Its crisp, sweet golden fruit ripens very early, often in June in the lower South, and is excellent for fresh eating. Pair it with Anna or another compatible low-chill apple that blooms at the same time for dependable cross-pollination. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, and confirm the rootstock on the grower tag because it determines the tree's final height, spread, support needs, and spacing. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMalus domestica 'Dorsett Golden'\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rootstock-dependent; commonly 10–25 ft tall × Rootstock-dependent; commonly 10–20 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 250–300 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant with Anna or another overlapping low-chill apple for reliable fruit set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early spring; overlaps Anna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early summer; often June in the lower South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden-yellow apples, sometimes lightly blushed, with crisp sweet flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular moisture while establishing and during fruit development; well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deciduous grafted fruit tree; mature size depends on rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning and training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Train to a central leader; prune while dormant and thin crowded fruit after set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home orchard, edible landscape, fresh eating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers support pollinators; protect ripening fruit from wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant size, harvest timing and performance vary with climate, rootstock where applicable, soil, pruning and care.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Towns Edge Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":45139884441808,"sku":"FRT-1007-05G","price":58.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/6954\/1584\/files\/DorsettAppleCgpt1.png?v=1788635500","url":"https:\/\/townsedgenursery.com\/products\/dorsett-gold-apple","provider":"Towns Edge Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
