- steveads 7y agoseconded. Taste just as good or better than HoneyCrisp and cost less :)
- fiter 7y agoThis article has an interesting part about Pink Ladies; how the apples you buy in the store labeled "Pink Ladies" might be a different cultivar than Cripps Pink which was the previously copyrighted cultivar that originally had the "Pink Lady" name!
- ravedave5 7y agoIt seems like a weird plan, if 1/3 batches are a different variety and I don't like them now I think all pink ladies are bad.

- twic 7y agoI find Pink Ladies rather bland. IMHO Braeburns are the best of the industrial apple varieties (the modern ones which are tasty, sweet, and unchallenging); Fuji and Gala are somewhere behind, and Pink Lady behind that. Cox is still the best, though!
- frereubu 7y agoI find it disappointing that this is the only mention of Cox in the comments. Can't be bettered as far as my palate is concerned!
- twic 7y agoMy understanding is that it's rare in the USA, and i suspect most commenters here are from the USA. I'm in the UK, where it is a very common apple in season.
- frereubu 7y agoYeah, I'm in the UK. They don't know what they're missing!
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoI love Cox Orange Pippin..it used to be my favorite apple in the UK..hands down. We don’t get it here in the States.
- BurningFrog 7y agoAm I the only one that find Pink Lady having a bitter side taste? Does this mean I have some weird genetic defect?
- namdnay 7y agoMaybe it’s the skin? Cripps Pink have quite a thick skin, with a slight bitterness
- namdnay 7y agoThey’re good, but maybe too sweet and sour, if you see what i mean? They’ll overpower anything you eat with it (my breakfast is usually bread, apples, cheese, leftover meat). I ended up settling with Fuji - really good taste, but not as strong
