A modern Cox-style variety, found growing by a roadside.

Christmas Pippin is a modern Cox-style apple discovered the old-fashioned way - growing as a seedling tree beside a road.

The parentage is unknown but the flavour is similar to Cox-substitutes such as Sunset. The leaf-shape has a resemblance to Gala - a popular supermarket variety and therefore a likely candidate for being the source of the discarded apple core from which the original tree grew.
