APPLE

It is kind of interesting, at least was to me. Pink Lady from the market is not really a variety. The variety is 'Cripps Pink'. Someone got the smart idea to set quality standards for 'Cripps Pink' and sell it under the trademark name Pink Lady. Only apples meeting standards of color, shape, sugar content, and crispness get to be marketed under the Pink Lady trademark. To make matters more confusing, Stark Brothers now carries a variety named 'Pink Lady'. Someone probably made a mistake by not grabbing the variety name as well as the trademark. In any event the grocery store Pink Lady apples have a great balance between sweet and tart and are very crisp, plus have a good shelf life.
