A classic since 1825, 'Cox's Orange Pippin' (often simply 'Cox') is thought to have the best flavour of any dessert apple, with notes of pear, melon and mango detectable in its complex taste. Infinitely sweeter and juicier than the supermarket version (they pick them way too soon). You can also make the best juices with 'Cox' as well as using them in pies and crumbles. Mid-season harvest: pick your apples from September and store for up to a month (if you can resist them). 'Cox' is self-fertile, meaning it will produce apples without the need for a pollination partner. Clouds of blossom appear in spring, attracting plenty of bees to your garden. In fact, apple trees are certified with RHS Plants for Pollinators status, showing their benefits to pollinating insects. This apple tree is well-suited to the cool, temperate climate of the UK, and is naturally quite compact; 'Cox' is available in sizes to suit every garden, including patio pots. Cordon trained - Max size H2m x W1m (Perfect for growing in a pot, on a patio or in a smaller garden) M26 Rootstock - Max size H3m x W3m MM106 Rootstock - Max size H4m x W4m. Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch. Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
