Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Climate Range of Pink Lady

About four years ago, I wrote a series of articles on new apple varieties and interviewed a number apple breeders and experts.  Below is what I learned about Pink Lady.  Hope the info helps you.

Doreen Howard

-----------------------------

Pink Lady was bred in New Zealand.  It only needs 400 chill hours to set fruit and flourishes on the Pacific Coast, in the Mid-Atlantic and the Deep South.  Good for hot climates, large pink fruit with sweet-tart flavor, very crisp.  Does not require a pollinator.  Zones 6-9.

 

This information came from the late Tom Vorbeck and Dr. Rob Crassweller, professor of tree fruit at Pennsylvania State University.
