Description
Considered by many to be the finest of English dessert apples, Cox's Orange Pippin is a crisp, juicy eating apple with an attractive orange-red appearance, aromatic yellow-white flesh and an excellent flavour.
Moderately vigorous, it produces pure white blossom in April-May and fruit in early October. Best if picked fully ripe, or when slightly under-ripe and stored for a month (though can be stored into January). Can also be used for juicing.
- Season of use October - January.
- First introduced in 1830, Colnbrook, Buckinghamshire, UK.
- Self-sterile - requires a pollinator (another apple). Grown on M26 rootstock for an ultimate (unpruned) height of 8-12ft (2.4-3.65m) but can easily be kept at a height of 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m).
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
Recommended by the RHS to assist in encouraging bats into the garden as the flowers are likely to attract moths and other night-flying insects which bats love to eat!
