Thank you for your comments Dwayne
I am new to apple tree growing and had read, they needed to cross pollinate.
I tried previously searching the Net to learn more but didn't come up with
much at all, but I will have another go.
I would love an apple tree like your Mum's.
Thanks again
Loretta

Please check this out, but I was told that the Golden Delicious was one of
the few apple trees that didn't need another apple tree around to
pollinate it. My mom had one for years and it always had a lot of apples,
more than she could get rid of, and no one for blocks around had any fruit
trees. Get on the internet and type in "growing golden delicious apples"
and see what you come up with. I would open the responses you get from
colleges.

Hello, we bought a Golden Delicious apple tree yesterday and need to
graft another type of apple onto it to pollinate it, as we only have the
one tree. Is there some particular spot that we would make the graft? And
how big a piece would you suggest the new piece be please?
