Description
Raised in 1897 by Laxton Brothers in Bedford and introduced in 1922. A cross between Wyken Pippin and Cox’s Orange Pippin. Very heavy cropper, sweet and aromatic having some of the richness and complexity of Cox’s but very sweet. Flesh firm and juicy. Fruits medium to large, yellow with red flush. Popular variety which will thrive where Coxs may fail. Young trees crop regularly and heavily. The blossom attracts bees, and later any fallen fruit is eagerly consumed by thrushes and other similar birds. Bullfinches are, unfortunately, partial to the buds.
