Wiki Draft

Golden Delicious is listed here as a standard apple, meaning fruit 5 cm across or larger, and described as a popular commercial dessert apple [S1]. The same source rates it H3, or borderline hardy [S1].

A note says some scionwood fruited in Edmonton in the 1970s, though the grower name is unclear in the entry transcription [S1]. Coutts (1991) is quoted as calling Golden Delicious "very tender, but one of our best breeders" [S1].
