Apple ‘Ribston Pippin’

A robust, and award winning aromatic apple with a strong Victorian heritage. Its distinctive flavour peaks about a month after harvest, making it suitable for both eating and culinary uses, as well as producing a sweet and tart juice. This apple holds particular significance as the likely parent of the famous ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’. While ‘Ribston Pippin’ shares some of the aromatic characteristics of its renowned descendant when enjoyed fresh, it possesses a more pronounced sharpness, making it a preferred choice in culinary applications.

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.
