Pink Lady brand apples originated in 1973 after researchers from Western Australia’s Department of Agriculture crossed the Golden Delicious and Lady Williams varieties. This vibrantly pink apple was released for commercial production in Australia in 1989, and finally made its way to the U.S. in the late 1990’s.
Pink Lady apples are harvested in early November from Washington state. It is a trademarked variety, which means growers must obtain a license before they can grow it. Pink Lady apples are firm and juicy with a bright white flesh that resists browning when sliced.
