Red Delicious
The Red Delicious is a clone of apple cultigen, now comprising more than 50 cultivars, recognized in Madison County, Iowa, United States, in 1880. As new cultivars with improved color and earlier harvestability have replaced the original cultivar in commercial orchards, the taste and texture of the harvested commodity have deteriorated, and many customers have begun to accept the 'Red Delicious' as being a markedly inferior tasting variety at the food market.〔 Roger Yepsen notes some of its less desirable qualities, "The skin is thick and bitter and has to be chewed vigorously... this apple ranks close to the bottom when cooked... sold year round, so shop with skepticism. Delicious retains its cheerful good looks long after its flavor has departed." According to the US Apple Association website it is one of the fifteen most popular apple cultivars in the United States.〔(Apple varieties ) by US Apple Association〕
==History==
The 'Red Delicious' originated at an orchard in 1880 as "a round, blushed yellow fruit of surpassing sweetness". Stark Nurseries held a competition in 1892〔Leona (Lee) Novy Jackson, "Delicious Apples and Their History"(), ''Apples, Apples Everywhere—Favorite Recipes From America's Orchards''.

Maryville, MO.〕 to find an apple to replace the 'Ben Davis' apple. The winner was a red and yellow striped apple sent by Jesse Hiatt, a farmer in Peru, Iowa, who called it "Hawkeye". Stark Nurseries bought the rights from Hiatt, renamed the variety "Stark Delicious", and began propagating it. Another apple tree, later named the 'Golden Delicious', was also marketed by Stark Nurseries after it was purchased from a farmer in Clay County, West Virginia,〔
〕 in 1914; the 'Delicious' became the 'Red Delicious' as a retronym.〔
