Malus domestica ‘Cripps Pink’
Pink Lady apples are enjoyed both for eating fresh and cooking. These trees produce apples late in the growing season, making it a good choice for growing in warmer climates. The apples ripen to a pretty, reddish pink with small, white dots. Pink Lady apple trees are a cross between Lady Williams and Golden Delicious, giving the fruit good storage characteristics and a sweet, crisp flavor. The tree has beautiful white blossoms that develop mid-season. Bears fruit in 6-8 years.
