Malus domestica 'Cox Orange Pippin' Malus domestica 'Cox Orange Pippin'

Malus 'Cox's Orange Pippin' is a strong-growing tree with a fairly wide, open crown. As a tree, this apple tree is unfortunately susceptible to mildew and slightly prone to scab. From mid-September to early October, the apples ripen. These are relatively small and slightly flattened round. Initially pale green, the apples turn greenish-yellow with a beautiful orange-red blush and broad stripes as they ripen. The flesh is quite firm and juicy. The flavour is pleasantly acidic and remarkably aromatic. 'Cox's Orange Pippin' is a very good hand apple, also suitable for juicing. Unsuitable for use in apple pie. Hardiness zone 6.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
