Apple ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’

Price range: €200.00 through €350.00

Apple ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’ (Classic Dessert Apple)

Widely regarded as the benchmark for apple flavor, ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’ is a prized heritage dessert apple first grown in the early 19th century. It produces medium-sized fruit with a distinct orange-red flush over a yellow-green background. The tender, aromatic flesh offers a complex balance of rich sweetness and refreshing acidity, accompanied by a subtle hint of nuttiness.

While it rewards attentive care in the garden, planting it in a sunny, sheltered position ensures the best fruit quality and crop consistency.
