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'. The same word can be seen in the modern French for a plant nursery or garden centre - 'pepiniere'. Like many old apple varieties Cox's Orange Pippin was discovered as a chance seedling.

Apple - AnnaI have two in containers (as well as Dorset Golden for pollination) and they produce 4-5 crops a year, mostly for the squirrels. Right now I have one in a 15 gal container with 3 2nd crop 3" fruit, a bunch of 1" 3rd crop fruit, and it's blooming and setting 4th crop...it's 8-21-17, S. Calif. The Dorsett Golden's haven't bloomed for at least two months so these are self fertile crops. I've been holding off planting these in the ground because I didn't want to loose the multiple crop ability...so I'm happy to read here that people are getting at least 2 crops from in ground Anna apple trees. more >> |

Apple - Paula RedI was surprised to find these at a local grocery store, fresh from Michigan. This variety has a soft flesh with a mellow flavor that is slightly tart but with a slight hint of "honey" like sweetness. more >> |

Apple - EpicureWe think our tree is probably an Epicure. Certainly looks like the picture and is ripe now, on a smallish tree. It has a boring insect (?) problem. Many of the fruit are so infected and, turning much redder, fall off early, leaving the non infected, yellowish green ones with slight mottled red linear patterns to ripen fully on the tree. more >> |
