Although close to 200 years old Cox’s Orange Pippin remains one of the world’s best known apples. Its fame rests on its delightful flavour.
Raised in about 1825 by Richard Cox at Colnbrook Lawn, Slough, Buckinghamshire and introduced by Charles Turner in about 1850. It received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1962. Fruits are juicy and sweet with a rich, aromatic, nutty flavour.
Somewhat disease prone in damper climates, it is a great selection for warmer and drier times.
