Our website is named after England's most famous apple variety - Cox's Orange Pippin - widely regarded as the finest of all dessert apples. 'Pippin' is an old English word derived from the French word for 'seedling', and like many old apple varieties Cox's Orange Pippin was discovered as a chance seedling.

  • Apple - Gala

    10 Oct 2024 
    I have been buying Gala Apples for a very long time but our family noticed a drastic change! The Gala was no longer crisp, juicy but soft and almost mealy!! Guess I will try a different brand. I buy them weekly at my local COSTCO 🤔
  • Apple - Red Gold

    Mine have a lot of scab this year, is this common with this variety? They still have a lovely flavour
  • Apple - Falstaff

    07 Oct 2024 
    Falstaff apple grows very well in my garden in north Wales, UK. I planted the tree in 2002, masses of fruit every year (thanks to my bees nearby) and it makes a great juice.
  • Apple - Elstar
