Malus domestica ' Christmas Pippin'
We can confidently say this is the ‘new garden Cox’ but unlike this classic vintage variety, Christmas Pippin is very easy to grow & produces reliable, heavy crops countrywide. The eating quality is exceptional, characterised by a sweet & aromatic flavour, lovely perfume & a very pleasant honey after-taste. The fruits are crisp & juicy with a melt in the mouth texture that makes each bite increasingly more pleasurable. Christmas Pippin is a ‘foundling’ having been spotted by a fruit expert by the side of a busy road. A natural seedling of rare & special qualities, most likely arising from a discarded apple core.. . perhaps from the very fine Cox’s Orange Pippin itself, with which we dare to compare this very special new introduction.
