Golden Delicious

Mullins sold the tree and propagation rights to Stark Brothers Nurseries for $5000, which first marketed it as a companion of their Red Delicious in 1914.

[8] Golden Delicious was designated the official state fruit of West Virginia by a Senate resolution on February 20, 1995.

In 2010, an Italian-led consortium announced they had decoded the complete genome of the Golden Delicious apple.

Golden Delicious was one of four apples honored by the United States Postal Service in a 2013 set of four 33¢ stamps commemorating historic strains, joined by Northern Spy, Baldwin, and Granny Smith.

[11] Golden Delicious is a large, yellowish-green skinned cultivar and very sweet to the taste.
