The definitive English desert apple, excellent aromatic flavour. Apple Cox's Orange Pippin is a red tinted apple that can be enjoyed eaten fresh. Its fruit ripens in October and is ready to pick when they easily part from the spur when given a gentle twist. During April and May, the tree itself develops beautiful white flowers that attract pollinators to the garden. This is a self-sterile tree so will need a pollinator. Two-year-old dwarf wood stock supplied.

Planting & Growing Instructions
Apple trees are suitable for planting in most types of moderately fertile, well drained soil, although they do not like acid soil. If possible prepare the ground some time in advance of planting. Open out holes and plant with enough space to accommodate the roots without cramping them. Plant in a sunny location as they do not prosper too well in the shade. Make sure that you plant with a stake, as this will be needed for at least five years to help support the tree. Begin weed control prior to planting and keep a clean ring around the plant (with a radius of approx 24inches
Cultural Instructions
Young trees must be watered thoroughly and sprinkle with fertilizer each spring. You can also mulch in April with rotted manure or compost around the base of the trunk. They should be planted in well sheltered locations. They will blossom and flower in Spring and fruit is normally ready to be picked throughout Autumn.
