A Victorian apple resulting from a cross between Cox's Orange Pippin & Peasgood Nonsuch. Named after the head gardener in the late 1800s at Welford Park in Berkshire, its taste is sharp with a tang of orange when freshly picked (although it sweetens when it has been stored for a bit). White-fleshed, Charles Ross can also be cooked &, as it's really juicy, it also makes great cider. Supplied in a 9 litre pot bag.

Apple Cox's Orange Pippin Produces juicy, crisp & aromatic dessert fruits. This self-fertile variety is very similar to classic Coxs (Cox's Orange Pippin), but this newer variety has several advantages.
