Origin: Cripps Pink from Western Australia
The cultivar was bred by John Cripps at the Stoneville Research Station of the Western Australia Department of Agriculture. The cross Golden Delicious × Lady Williams was made in 1973; the seedling was picked out in the 1980s from many thousands of others, and the cultivar reached the market at the end of that decade.
“Pink Lady” is a trademark, and the cultivar itself is called Cripps Pink. Only fruit that meets quality standards carries the heart-shaped Pink Lady mark; the cultivar is owned by the Western Australia Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, and the brand is run by Apple and Pear Australia Ltd.
Harvest and climate: a long warm season is required
Harvest is very late: in the Northern Hemisphere it falls in late October to early November. The cultivar needs a long growing period and a hot climate, and does not suit cooler regions or places with early autumn frosts.
Pink Lady’s winter chill requirement is fairly low, and the lower limit of the tree’s zone is Z6, while for most cultivars in stock it is Z5 or Z4. Before ordering, compare the season length and first-frost dates of your territory using the supply by region page.

Fruit storage
Pink Lady fruit is firm and keeps for a long time: the cultivar combines the storage ability of Lady Williams with the sweetness of Golden Delicious. Agree the storage regime for your crop before the orchard is planted.
Who should plant Pink Lady
Pink Lady makes sense where a long warm season reliably brings the fruit to picking in late October. For other territories, look at another late cultivar, Fuji, which asks for a relatively warm summer.
Z6–Z9 is the USDA scale by minimum winter temperature. It does not reflect the long-season requirement, so for Pink Lady the zone alone is not enough: heat sums and first-frost dates are needed as well.

On 9 October 2026 Pink Lady is available in two grades: 19,000 trees in 1+ and 3,000 in 5+. Stock per grade is in the table below, the full price list is on the sapling prices page, and the rest of the range is in the apple saplings section.
