DID YOU KNOW?

Cox apple as often simply named in Britain, or Cox’s Orange Pippin, is an apple bred in the 1820s by Richard Cox, a retired brewer, at his orchard in Colnbrook – England. Though the parentage of the variety is unknown, Ribston Pippin seems a likely candidate. The variety was introduced for sale by the 1850s by Mr. Charles Turner, and grown commercially from the 1860s. It is now well-known in Europe as an early season dessert apple.
