Pink Pearl ( apple ) - Wikipedia Pink Pearl ( apple ) ' Pink Pearl ' apple Genus Malus Species Malus domestica ( x Malus niedzwetskyana ? ) Hybrid parentage ' Seedling of ' Surprise ' Cultivar ' Pink Pearl ' Origin USA The ' Pink Pearl ' apple is a purple - fleshed apple cultivar developed in 1944 by Albert Etter, a northern California breeder. It is a seedling of ' Surprise ', another pink - fleshed apple that is believed to be a descendant of Malus niedzwetskyana. History In 1940, after many years of work on breeding red - fleshed apples, Etter set up a partnership with George Roeding Jr. 's California Nursery Company, one of the goals of which was to introduce some of Etter 's Surprise - derived cultivars to the public. Eventually Roeding settled on test seedling # 39, which apparently impressed him with its looks ( translucent skin, medium size, and tapered shape ), its tart - sweet flavor, and its late - summer ripening date. He secured U.S. plant patent 723 for it on Etter 's behalf, named it ' Pink Pearl ', and featured it in his 1945 catalog. ' Pink Pearl ' apples are generally medium - sized, with a conical shape. They are named for the color of their flesh, which is a bright rosy pink sometimes streaked or mottled with white. They have a translucent, yellow - green skin, and a crisp, juicy flesh with tart to sweet - tart taste. ' Pink Pearl ' apples ripen in late August to mid-September. It is susceptible to scab, and the fruit tend not to keep well on the tree once ripe. Among Pink Pearl 's descendants is ' Pink Princess ', a carmine - striped apple with pink to dark pink flesh. It was originally named ' Pink Lady ' by its developer, Fred Jansen of Ontario, Canada, but Jansen did not patent the name and it was subsequently taken over for a quite different Australian apple, forcing Jansen to change the name of his own apple.
