GoldRush Apple
Min. Caliper: 5/8”
Root Stock: EMLA 111
GoldRush Apple (Malus domestica ‘Goldrush’)
GoldRush Apple is a late-season, high-quality apple prized for its firm, crisp, and juicy fruit. At harvest, the apples are tart, but their flavor mellows into a complex, sweet-tart profile with hints of pineapple and spice after a few weeks of storage. The golden-yellow fruit with an orange-red blush is excellent for fresh eating, baking, sauces, salads, and cider. Goldrush Apple trees are disease-resistant, showing strong tolerance to scab and mildew and moderate resistance to fireblight, making them a great choice for organic growers.
Requirements:
Light: Full sun
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil
Key Features:
Mature Size: 12–16 feet tall × 12–16 feet wide
Harvest Period: Late season, October -November
Wildlife Value: Provides fruit for humans; supports pollinators through flowering
Pollination: Requires a different apple variety with overlapping bloom period
Plant Care:
GoldRush Apple thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Trees bear fruit within 2–4 years and require spacing of 12–16 feet. Water regularly, 12–15 gallons per week from May through September. Regular pruning maintains tree structure and encourages healthy fruit production. Its excellent storage quality makes Goldrush Apple ideal for home orchards seeking flavorful, versatile, and disease-resistant apples.
