Pink Lady
A tier
Pink Lady is the trademarked retail name for Cripps Pink—high-acid sweet finish, elongated shape, and blush-pink skin over green-yellow when fully mature on a long growing season. Strict quality branding keeps flavour consistent: crisp, tangy-sweet, and late-season. Underripe fruit tastes grassy and hard, so true maturity matters on the tree. Excellent fresh eating and cheese pairing; holds structure in tarts and galettes. Buy branded fruit for the intended sugar-acid window. Popular in markets that pay for named club varieties with stickers and grading specifications behind every shipment.
