Hybrid parentageLady Williams × Golden Delicious
CultivarCripps Pink
Origin Western Australia, 1973

Cripps Pink is a cultivar of apple. It is one of several cultivars sold under the trademark name Pink Lady. 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 the American 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.
