Geography/History
The Kidd’s Red apple was first developed in 1912 by Horticulturist James Hutton Kidd. Kidd had been experimenting with different crosses in hope of developing an apple that had the attractiveness of current American varieties and the complex flavor of old English varieties. He named the apple he created Delco and planted five acres of it on his orchard in Graytown, New Zealand. Kidd soon came to realize his new apples potential as a commercially successful variety and in 1930 sold the rights to the nuery Duncan and Davies who renamed and marketed the apple as Kidd’s Orange Red.
