Apple Trees Pink Lady

#7 gallon pot. 

Pink Lady Apple Tree - Trees for cross pollination: Gala, Fuji, & Granny Smith. Height: 12-15ft, Width: 12-15ft. Interest: Fruit in late October. Pink Lady apples were born down under in the 1970s under the cultivar name Cripps Pink. A researcher named John Cripps, who worked for Western Australia’s Department of Agriculture, crossed the American classic Golden Delicious apple with a late-ripening and attractive red Australian apple called Lady Williams. The result: a beautifully vibrant pink-skinned apple with a unique flavor that would become a fan favorite around the world. Pink Lady made its way up to the USA in the late 1990s! 

Maintenance Tip:
Prune annually in late winter while dormant to shape the tree, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage better fruit production. Thin developing fruit in early summer to improve size and prevent branch stress. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, maintain consistent watering during dry periods, and monitor for pests and disease throughout the growing season.
