It's celebrated for its excellent balance of sweetness and tartness, crisp texture, and a striking pink blush over a yellow background.

Common Name: Pink Lady Apple
Mature Height (meters): 3-4 meters
Mature Width (meters): 2-3 meters

Flowering Period: Blooms in mid to late spring, producing beautiful white flowers that are essential for pollination and fruit set.
Fruit: Pink Lady apples are known for their distinctive pink blush on a yellow to green background. The flesh is crisp, juicy, and sweet with a tart undertone. They are excellent for fresh eating, salads, and various culinary uses due to their ability to retain shape and flavor when cooked.
Form/Habit: This variety typically has an upright and spreading growth habit, making it suitable for a variety of landscape designs and space considerations.
Uses: Ideal for orchard planting and home gardens. Its attractive appearance and fragrant blossoms also make it a lovely ornamental tree.
Pollination: Requires cross-pollination with another apple variety that flowers at the same time, such as 'Gala', 'Granny Smith', or 'Fuji', for effective fruit production.
Sun: Prefers full sun to ensure optimal growth and fruit production.
Maintenance: Requires regular pruning to maintain an open canopy, encourage air circulation, and maximize fruit production. Pruning should be done in late winter when the tree is dormant.

Watering Requirements After Planting

When you plant a new tree, it's crucial to give it the right start by ensuring it receives sufficient water. Here’s a general guideline for watering your newly planted tree:

  • Immediately After Planting: Water your tree generously right after planting your Malus domestica 'Pink Lady' Apple to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate any air pockets.
  • First Three Months: The initial three months are critical for the establishment of the tree. During this period, the tree should be hand watered twice daily, in the morning and evening. This helps the roots grow deep and strong.
  • Irrigation System: If you have an irrigation system, adjust it to ensure the tree gets adequate water during these first months.
  • Adjusting to Weather Conditions: Always consider the weather conditions and adjust your watering accordingly. In hotter and drier periods, additional watering may be necessary.

Consistent attention to your tree’s watering needs during this initial period will help ensure its healthy growth and long-term success in your garden.
