Cripps Pink is a cultivar of apple. It is one of several cultivars sold under the trade mark name Pink Lady.[1] It was originally bred by John Cripps at the Western Australia Department of Agriculture (Stoneville Research Station), by crossing the Australian apple Lady Williams with a Golden Delicious; the result is a combination of the firm, long-storing property of Lady Williams with the sweetness and lack of storage scald of Golden Delicious.[2]
