Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips
Spur Red Delicious grows at a slower pace than regular Red Delicious and will be much slower to fill out its space. If your space is limited it is an excellent choice. Don't let it "runt out" by not allowing enough growth, though. Aim for about a foot or so of new growth a year at the minimum.
