Apple ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’

Reliably producing a generous crop of orange flushed fruit (particularly when teamed with a pollination partner), this is often said to be one of the best British eating apples. With their rich and aromatic flavour, they are certainly long-standing favourites!

Garden care: Dig a hole no deeper than the roots, but up to three times the diameter of the root system. Break the soil up with a fork before planting if the sides or base of the planting hole are hard. Place the plant in the planting hole and carefully refill, firming the soil around the roots to eliminate air pockets. Insert stake at this point if required. Keep the base of the tree weed free, fertilise at the beginning of the growing season and water regularly during hot, dry spells. Prune in winter, avoiding frosty or freezing conditions. Summer prune to encourage the ripening of fruit.

Pollination Information: This apple belongs to pollination group 3, however it is partially self fertile, so does not need a pollinating partner to produce a crop of apples. For a bumper crop, it can be cross-pollinated with other apples in this group.
