Description:
The Malus domestica 'Cox's Orange Pippin' is a deciduous apple tree known for its medium-sized, yellow fruit with an orange-red blush and a complex flavor reminiscent of sweet orange and mango. It blooms with fragrant white flowers in spring, attracting pollinators, and its fruit ripens from mid-fall to early winter. This variety is cold hardy and thrives in USDA zones 4 through 9, requiring full sun and approximately 800 chill hours. It is a heavy-bearing tree with good disease resistance, making it low maintenance. The tree's creamy white flesh is fine-textured, firm, and juicy, offering a sweet, slightly tart, and sometimes spicy taste. It is not self-fruiting and needs a pollinating partner. Suitable for average-sized gardens, it grows well in cool summers and coastal areas. The tree's deciduous foliage provides fall color, and its seeds rattle inside ripe fruit, adding to its unique characteristics.
