The variety "Pink Lady" (Cripps Pink) is the result of crossing the varieties "Golden Delicious" and "Lady Williams". It is a late-winter medium-sized variety requiring a long growing season. The fruits are medium to large in size, round-conical, with a bright pink blush on a yellow-green background. The flesh is white, firm, crisp, and resistant to browning, with a sweet-and-sour taste. The tree is winter-hardy, moderately resistant to diseases, and requires fruit thinning.
The historical variety "Lady", known as "Api" or "Pomme d'Api", is a miniature apple tree. The fruits of this variety are very small, usually less than 5 cm in diameter, and ripen in late autumn. The variety is characterized by cold hardiness and is used as a dessert apple, for cider production, as well as an ornamental crop due to the attractive appearance of the fruits.
