Kidd’s Orange Red is one of the select band of apple varieties which can truly be said to rival the definitive Cox’s Orange Pippin for flavour. It is primarily a sweet apple, but unlike most sweet apples it has a rich complexity to the flavours too. Kidd’s Orange Red is fairly crisp but also pleasantly chewy, and each bite seems to release yet more juice and flavour.
Kidd’s Orange Red is a popular variety in English gardens, but it was actually raised in New Zealand at the start of the 20th century by J.H. Kidd, who was an enthusiast of the English Cox’s Orange Pippin apple which is one of the parents of Kidd’s Orange Red.
The tree grows attractively, and the crimson pink blossom is a particular feature – it has a rose-like scent too.
Although primarily an apple for eating fresh, Kidd’s Orange Red also produces a high quality sweet apple juice, with a pleasing thick texture.
