Apples: Malus pumila 'Cox Orange Pippin'

description for "Apples: Malus pumila 'Cox Orange Pippin'"

This antique apple variety dates back to about 1830. Originating in England, it is considered one of the finest dessert apples grown. Ripening in late September, the fruit develops a rich, red color upon maturity. It grows to be a medium sized tree and is excellent for the home orchard. Like most apples, two different varieties are needed for pollination. Trees yield about 5 bushels of fruit each year upon maturity. Good for growing as an espalier. Edited by M.Tate
