Golden Delicious arose from a chance seedling, possibly a hybrid of Grimes Golden[3][4] and Golden Reinette.

Malus domestica ‘Spartan’ is a popular dessert apple variety known for its attractive fruit and excellent flavour. In spring, the tree is covered in clusters of pale pink buds that open into white blossoms, providing a lovely ornamental display while attracting pollinators. By early to mid-autumn, it produces medium-sized apples with a deep red to maroon skin, often with a slight sheen.
