An increasingly popular new apple variety from Australia, closely related to Cripps Pink - but with arguably a superior flavor. Cripps Red apples are an attractive red color over a yellow background. An interesting choice for gardeners in warmer climate zones.
Fill in the form below and we will notify you when Cripps Red apple trees are back in stock.
If you do not hear from us by February you can contact us in June to pre-order for the following spring.
Cripps Red prefers a southern climate with long hot summers. It has a slight tendency to become a biennial bearer (fruiting every other year) but this can be readily corrected by thinning the fruitlets in early June to prevent it over-cropping.
This is a low-chill variety, needing only about 300 chill hours per year.
Advice on fruit tree pollination.
Cripps Red was developed in Australia in the late 20th century and is a sibling of Cripps Pink. It is a cross between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams.
