Epletre. Fordi me vil ha raude og søte epler.
Til forskjell frå dei andre epletrea våre er ikkje Kidds orange red så veldig gammalt. Det blei utvikla av den newzealandske epledyrkaren James Hutton Kidd i 1924. Treet er ei kryssing av Delicious og Cox's Orange Pippin. Gala, som ofte blir seld i butikkane, er ein etterkomar.
Kidds orange red kjem frå Greytown i New Zealand.
Kidd's Orange Red' is a dessert apple that can grow to 2.5-8m in height and width, depending on the rootstock. Pale pink flowers are followed by fruit that can be used from November to January. (RHS)
