Cox's Orange Pippin apple
£1.60 per kilo
Ready M October
SEASON Oct - Jan
Raised from a pip of Ribston Pippin by Richard Cox, around 1825, at Colnbrook Lawn, Slough (pippin states that the apple was grown from seed, or pip) Introduced to the world around 1850 by Mr Charles Turner, it received an Award of Merit from the RHS in and a First Class Certificate from the RHS in 1962.
The fruits are medium in size, round and slightly conical in shape. A yellow background over- flushed with an orange/red and striped with fine, almost hand-painted tiny stipes of earthy red on top. It shows tiny areas of russeting, giving the apples a mottled look.
Inside the cream coloured flesh is firm to the bite, refined in texture and juicy. Perhaps not as sharp as Ribston Pippin, the flavour is still nevertheless held in high regard, portrayed as being a convoluted mixture of honey, spices and nuts. Many still regard this apple as highly now as our ancestors did, claiming it to be England's finest apple.
