Welcome to Orange Pippin

If you are interested in apple varieties, pears, cherries or plums, or orchards where these fruits are grown, you have come to the right place.

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 - Orkney

  I am teaching grafting this week on Orkney isles and collecting scions as part of it, along with trying to start the mapping of fruit in Orkney. Someone here says they have an Orkney Apple which they got from Kent (so maybe Keepers) and just wondering if there is any update on this variety please

• Apple - Pixie Crunch

  02 Feb 2020  Idahomeboy,  ID, United States

  Pixie Crunch is one of my new favorites. It has a unique crisp breaking, crunchy texture unlike any other apple I have tried, and the flavor is very good and sweet. This was the first year my tree produced and it set a heavy crop despite a late frost that reduced the production of many other varieties I grow. I will look forward to this apple year after year.
