RD-11

RD 11 Red Delicious is an improved clone of the classic Red Delicious apple, developed for deep red colouration, uniform fruit shape, and outstanding storage performance. The fruits are large, conical, and attractively striped to block red, often achieving near 100% colour coverage, even under moderate light conditions.

The flesh is creamy-white, crisp, and mildly sweet, offering the smooth texture and gentle flavour typical of premium Red Delicious apples. RD 11 trees are vigorous and productive, yielding uniformly shaped apples that meet strict export and grading standards.

This variety shows excellent post-harvest firmness, extended shelf life, and resistance to bruising, making it ideal for export markets and long-distance shipping. It performs exceptionally well in high-altitude and temperate regions, delivering consistent yield and superior fruit colour every season.

A modern choice for growers seeking a highly coloured, export-grade Red Delicious with strong returns and proven field performance.
