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.
