Dwarf Pink Lady® Apple on Geneva® 969 (Malus domestica ‘Cripps Pink’) (Bareroot) is a premium apple variety admired for its striking pink-blushed skin, crisp texture, and lively sweet-tart flavor with a hint of effervescence. Known for its dense crunch and refreshing balance, Pink Lady® is excellent for fresh eating, salads, baking, and cider. This late-ripening variety holds exceptionally well in storage, keeping its firmness and flavor for months. Grafted onto Geneva® 969, the tree combines all the desirable qualities of Pink Lady® with the advantages of a modern, disease-resistant, semi-dwarf rootstock—ideal for home orchards and backyard growers.
Light: Requires full sun to develop its vibrant blush color and maximum sweetness.
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-draining soil; enrich with compost or organic matter to support healthy trees and abundant crops.
Water: Water deeply and consistently during spring and summer; reduce watering after harvest.
Fertilizer: Feed in early spring and midsummer with a balanced orchard fertilizer for vigorous growth and strong yields.
Pollination: Not self-fertile; requires a compatible pollinator such as Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp for consistent fruit set.
Maintenance: Prune in late winter to shape the tree, improve sun exposure, and encourage productive fruiting wood. Thin developing fruit in summer to enhance both size and flavor.
Hardiness: Best grown in USDA zones 5–9. A late-season apple that ripens in fall and stores exceptionally well under refrigeration.
This tree is grafted onto Geneva® 969, a semi-dwarfing rootstock chosen for its excellent fire blight resistance, sturdy anchorage, and reliable productivity. Shipped bare-root in a dormancy state, with proper care and planting instructions included.
