Insights
Cox’s Orange Pippin is widely regarded as the best tasting dessert apple. It is a spur bearer variety which needs favourable soil and weather conditions to crop well but suits the British climate.
Care
Best grown in a sheltered, sunny spot where the blossom can attract pollinators and the fruit can ripen in the sun. Prune annually to achieve the optimum crop. For an increased yield, plant with other apples.
