Description

This delicious variety is widely regarded as being the tastiest of all apples! It is perfect for growing in the UK and produces fabulous crops of its medium-sized, golden-red fruits that can be picked from September onwards. Perfect for eating straight from the tree, ‘Cox’s Orange Pippin’ is highly versatile, so you can make your own excellent cider and juice or use your harvest to make preserves and chutneys. First grown in the 1820s, this brilliant all-round winner is over 200 years old and still as popular as ever. Supplied as an established plant, approx. 90-110cm tall in a 5L pot, ready to plant out. Care Information • Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone, in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture. • Water regularly, and don’t let the soil dry out if planted in pots. • Established trees don’t require radical pruning – just take off any diseased, dying and damaged branches in late winter. Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches and remove any that cross over so they don’t damage each other.
