Parmar Parmar is also known as Yellow Flat, and likely is an 18th century Virginia apple that was once popular for brandy making. The presence of this variety in an orchard was an indicator that the owner likely used it for making apple brandy. Small in size and oblate in shape, the skin is a dark-yellow with irregular russet patches over most of the fruit. The flesh is also a dark-yellow, especially just beneath the skin, and is dense and subacid in flavor. It is suitable for applesauce and apple butter making and as a dessert fruit. Parmar stores well for a summer variety and ripens in late July and early August.

Pink Lady One of the best-known modern apples, Pink Lady is actually a trademark and the variety is more correctly known as Cripps Pink. Australia 1973, bred by John Cripps. A cross of Lady Williams and Golden Delicious.
Pink Parfait The latest and finest flavored of the pink-fleshed varieties. A large handsome fruit with bright red stripes and splashes over a cream background: the flesh is mottled pink and cream, almost as if an ordinary apple were stained with cherry juice. And the flavor and texture are amazing, making Pink Parfait an unforgetable eating experience. It requires a long warm growing season and can be tricky to finish properly.
Pink Pearl A pink-fleshed apple developed by Californian enthusiast Albert Etter in the 1940s. Bright pink flesh and crimson pink blossoms. The fruit is crisp with a sweet/tart flavor, conical shape; skin is a creamy pale green. Good flavour but is very tart for a dessert apple.
Pink Pearmain One of the best pink fleshed varieties. Ripens early September, this can be an exceptionally colorful and attractive fruit: deeply red/red-striped skin covering vivid mottled pink flesh. This apple obtains a red striped skin when mature, with an upside-down shape. Flesh is a deeper pink tone which varies with climatic changes. Tart and aromatic flavor. Must be fully ripe for maximum sweetness and color. The aromatics are complex and suggestive of berries. Intense heat here in August and September can adversely affect texture and flesh color. Late blooming.
Pink Princess Fred Janson of Ontario developed this pink fleshed variety, originally named Pink Lady. He did not patent the name, as he did not believe in fruit patents, and an Australian variety was subsequently patented as Pink Lady, which is the one now available commercially. In 1997, Mr. Janson changed the name of his apple to Pink Princess which has pastel to dark pink flesh, is sweet/tart and aromatic, medium sized, skin color is carmine striping over pink. A medium sized apple, light green skin turning yellow with a few faint red stripes. Pink colored flesh similar to that of Pink Pearl, but sweeter, with a nice fruity flavor. Pink Pearl x King of the Pippins.
