The Malus domestica ‘Kidd’s Orange Red’, commonly called the Kidd’s Orange Red Apple Tree, is a superb dessert apple originating from New Zealand in 1924. A cross between ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’ and ‘Red Delicious’, it inherits the best qualities of both parents – aromatic, richly flavoured fruit with a hint of honeyed sweetness and excellent crispness. This apple is often described as one of the finest for fresh eating, making it a favourite among orchard growers and garden enthusiasts.
