The tree is hardy to at least USDA Hardiness zone 4a, or −34 °C (−29 °F). 50% or more of its flowers die at −3.1 °C (26.4 °F) or below. [5] A McIntosh that was illustrated in 1901. The McIntosh apple is a small to medium-sized round fruit with a short stem. It has a red and green skin that is thick, tender, and easy to peel.

The Airlie Red Flesh tree will grow to a height of 4 meters (13 ft) to 5 meters (16 ft), and starts to fruit after about 4 years of growing. [3] Airlie Red Flesh fruits are medium-sized, often small. [2] The flavour of an Airlie Red Flesh apple has a balance of sweetness and tartness. [2]
The apple is a deciduous tree, generally standing 2 to 4.5 metres (6 to 15 feet) tall in cultivation and up to 15 m (49 ft) in the wild, though more typically 2 to 10 m (6.5 to 33 ft). [ 5 ] [ 1 ] When cultivated, the size, shape and branch density are determined by rootstock selection and trimming method. [ 5 ]
Wild apple trees usually reach age 10 to 12 in this period. [7] The number of fruits increase significantly as prominent secondary growth and branching take place. [7] Period III involves more growth and fruit bearing. [7] Wild apple trees enter regular fruiting and reach maximum fruit bearing in this period, and usually reach age 25 to 30. [7]
The wild apple is a deciduous small to medium-sized tree, but can also grow into a multi-stemmed bush. It can live 80–100 years and grow up to 14 metres (46 feet) tall with trunk diameters of usually 23–45 centimetres (9– 17 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches), although diameters exceeding 90 cm (35 in) have been recorded.

Dorsett Golden does best at USDA hardiness zones 5–9. [3] Researchers at University of Florida had observed a Dorset Golden being evergreen, even-though it cannot set fruits properly if it has no dormancy. [2] Usually it goes dormant in December, so then is the best time to do fruit tree pruning. [3] A young planting of Dorsett Golden apple
