COX'S ORANGE PIPPIN (Scion)

(NOT TO SA) (Malus domestica) English heirloom variety first grown in 1830 by the retired brewer and horticulturist Richard Cox. This is the benchmark for flavor in apples - from a good tree in a good year it can achieve exceptional flavor. It received a First Class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1962. Fruits are juicy and sweet with a rich, aromatic, nutty flavour. Thin, smooth, dull orange-red skin with patchy red stripes. Flesh yellow, firm, tender, very juicy. Variable in size from small to medium, it is richly flavoured when fully ripe. The best-known English apple.

SCION

You will receive 1 scion wood only (ie. a cutting from the parent tree). It will come packaged in a moisture sealed & labelled bag. While ideally it should be grafted onto your existing tree, or planted as soon as you receive it in the mail, the scion may be placed in the fridge for storage (1-4 months)
Our scions are harvested from the trees in June each year & then posted to customers July / August.

Orders for scions are able to be placed at any time throughout the year.

All scion varieties are sold subject to availability.
