Apple (Malus) ‘Cox Orange Pippin’ 7Gal

Apple 'Cox Orange Pippin'
Malus 'Cox Orange Pippin'

Often regarded as the finest of all English dessert and cider apples. Medium orange-red fruits. Aromatic flesh is fine-grained, crisp, and very juicy. Flavor is enhanced when fruit ripens off the tree, with hints of cherry & anise, becoming milder with age. Excellent keepers, for at least 3 months in proper storage.

Mid season bloomer. Pollinator required.

1825 English heirloom, with something of a cult following. In Apples of Uncommon Character, Rowan Jacobsen writes that biting into a Cox's is "like cherry-vanilla ice cream with lemon zest and rose petals. It was heavenly. What it was not was appley." 

Zones 5-7. Cold hardy to -20F.
