« Pink Lady® »

The Pink Lady® is an exciting new bi-colored apple that originated in Australia. It is a cross of Golden Delicious and Lady Williams which was bred in 1973 by the Agriculture Department of Western Australia.

The fruit is medium in size and slightly conical in shape with a distinctive pink blush over a yellow back-ground. The fine-grained flesh is crisp and crunchy and does not brown easily after the fruit has been cut. The first flavor impression is a pleasant tartness followed by a delicious sweetness. The fruit ripens in September and is available throughout the fall months.
