watering
Golden Delicious Apple trees should be watered approximately 1-2 inches per week when they are actively growing. During the summer, watering might need to be increased to 2-3 inches per week. Apples are generally drought-tolerant, but you should water more during extended periods of hot, dry weather. During the dormant season (late winter to early spring) the tree should be watered only once every 3 to 4 weeks.
sunlight
Golden Delicious Apple trees need 8 or more hours of sunlight per day during the growing season, which typically begins in April and runs through October. During the winter, Golden Delicious Apple trees need at least 4 hours of sunlight per day in order to stay healthy. Even during the summer, the trees need some periods of shade in order to protect them from heat stress.
pruning
Golden Delicious Apple (Malus 'Golden Delicious') should be pruned in early to mid-spring, with a pruning intensity of approximately 1/3 of the total growth of the tree.
