Apple 'Pink Lady', Pink Lady Apple, Malus 'Pink Lady', Malue 'Cripps Pink'
Performing particularly well in warm summer areas, Malus domestica ‘Pink Lady’ is a culinary or dessert cultivar with a profusion of fragrant, pink-accented, white flowers in early mid-season (mid-spring). Draped in clusters along the branches, they are truly a sight to behold. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They are followed in the fall by a heavy crop of medium to large, yellow apples adorned with a distinctive pink blush. The fruit is firm, and juicy, with an aromatic, sweet-tart flavor. It is perfect for eating or cooking. This apple tree requires pollination by a tree of another variety with the same bloom period such as Cortland or Empire or Braeburn. Native to Western Australia, Pink Lady likes long hot summers and retains its leaves well into the winter. Beautiful in bloom, heavy with luscious apples, and picturesque when old, apple trees are very rewarding additions to the landscape.
