Product Description
This delicious variety is widely regarded as being the tastiest of all apples! It is perfect for growing in the UK and produces fabulous crops of its medium-sized, golden-red fruits that can be picked from September onwards.
The fruits will look great on the tree as well as in your fruit bowl, and each one is tantalisingly crisp to bite into, with complex, sweet and tangy juice – yummy! Perfect for eating straight from the tree, 'Cox's Orange Pippin' is highly versatile, so you can make your own excellent cider and juice or use your harvest to make preserves and chutneys.
First grown in the 1820s, this brilliant all-round winner is nearly 200 years old and still as popular as ever. Best of all, you will save tons of money by growing your own instead of buying them from the shops, and, of course, they will taste so much better!
Supplied as an established plant, approx. 90-110cm tall in a 5L pot, ready to plant out.
What Is Supplied
Plant Information
Top Tips
- Keep well watered, and if growing in a pot, use a good quality, soil-based compost.
- Add Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi to the roots when planting to help establish your tree more quickly.
- Place your tree in a sunny position for the best crops.
Care Guide
- Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone, in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture.
- Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots.
- Established trees don't require radical pruning - just take off any diseased, dying and damaged branches in late winter. Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches and remove any that cross over so they don't damage each other.
