Planting & Care

An enhanced Cox's Orange Pippin, boasting a deeper red hue, increased crispness, and a larger size.
Retains the beloved firm, juicy texture and aromatic taste that improves with age.
Highly versatile: enjoy fresh from the tree, cooked in dishes, juiced, or made into cider.
A dependable and heavy cropper, with yields that increase annually.
Awarded the RHS 'Plants for Pollinators' mark, its blossoms attract bees and other beneficial insects.
Self-fertile, producing a reliable crop without a pollination partner.
A compact habit makes it perfect for even the smallest of gardens.
Expertly pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.

Species: Apple
Features: Easy to grow, Heavy cropper, Self fertile
Flowering Time: March, April, May
Harvest Time: September, October, November
Planting Time: January, February, March, April, November, December
Flower Colour: Green, Red
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Habit: Bushy
Hardiness: Fully Hardy
Tasting Notes: Crisp, aromatic & juicy
Uses: Eating, cooking, juice, cider

Planting: Plant 3m apart in any fertile, well-drained soil. Can tolerate clay if drainage is improved with horticultural grit.
Watering: Water in thoroughly after planting. For container-grown trees, water every other day for the first few months, reducing to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only during dry spells. Water deeply and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
Feeding: No feeding is required as the tree will draw nutrients from the soil.
Pruning: Some structural pruning is required each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yield and prevent disease.
Pollination: Self-fertile, so does not require a pollinating partner. However, crops may be improved if another apple tree from the same or adjacent pollination group is nearby.
Pest & Disease: Has good general resistance. Pruning to increase air circulation helps prevent bacterial disease.
Harvesting: Expect your first small crop in the first year after planting, with substantial crops from the third or fourth year.
