From blossom to harvest, watch as our apples flourish in their extra hours of sunshine. All the sun adds to their wonderfully irresistible fizz.
How it all began
John Cripps is the plant-breeder who naturally cross bred the first ever Cripps Pink apple in Australia in 1973. Mr Cripps had the ingenious idea to cross a Golden Delicious and a Lady Williams, so creating this delicious new variety. The best of these apples were then branded Pink Lady®. Over time, other varieties, all related to the original Cripps Pink, have been licensed under the Pink Lady® brand, but only the very best apples from any of these varieties are sold with the Pink Lady® heart-shaped seal of approval.
We don't rush the blush
Pink Lady® apples are always the first to blossom and last to be harvested, each one soaking up 200 days of sunshine. It’s this generous growing time on the tree that gives Pink Lady® its gorgeous rosy blush.
