🏞️ Product Description:
The Grimes Golden Apple is an old-time favorite known for its rich, spicy-sweet flavor and firm, crisp texture. Thought to be one of the parents of the Golden Delicious, this variety is not only delicious but highly attractive to wildlife, making it an excellent choice for food plots and habitat improvement.

Dropping in early October, Grimes Golden hits the sweet spot for pre-rut and rut hunting—delivering a highly palatable fruit source right when deer activity peaks.

🍏 Why Grow Grimes Golden:

• Incredible flavor—a favorite for cider, baking, and fresh eating

• Excellent mid- to late-season drop window

• Great cold tolerance and consistent annual production

• Pairs well with other apples for pollination but can bear fruit solo

🦌 Wildlife Magnet with Historical Roots:
Deer are naturally drawn to the sweet, aromatic fruit, and its timing keeps them coming back during the most critical hunting weeks of the season.

🐾 Summary:
With its unbeatable flavor, historical pedigree, and powerful late-season draw, the Grimes Golden Apple is a dual-purpose powerhouse. Whether you’re managing land for wildlife or building a homestead orchard, this apple delivers on every front.
