Cox's Orange Pippin Apple Fruit Tree – MM106 Rootstock – Large 5–6ft Tall in a 7.5 Litre Pot – Premium Dessert Apple – By Direct Plants
Grow one of Britain's finest and most celebrated dessert apples with the exceptional Cox's Orange Pippin Apple Tree, supplied here as a premium large specimen approximately 5–6ft tall in a 7.5 litre pot, professionally grafted onto MM106 semi-vigorous rootstock by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this outstanding fruit tree is renowned for producing beautifully aromatic apples with a rich, sweet flavour that has been treasured for generations.
Often regarded as the benchmark for dessert apples, Cox's Orange Pippin produces medium-sized fruits with an attractive orange-red flush over golden-green skin. The crisp, juicy flesh offers a superb balance of sweetness and acidity with an unmistakably rich, aromatic flavour, making it one of the finest apples for eating fresh straight from the tree.
Grafted onto MM106 semi-vigorous rootstock, this variety develops into a well-balanced medium-sized tree, making it ideal for larger gardens, orchards, and productive landscapes. It offers excellent cropping, strong growth, and outstanding long-term performance while remaining easier to manage than traditional full-sized orchard trees.
During spring, the branches are covered with masses of fragrant white blossom tinged with soft pink, attracting bees and beneficial pollinators. By autumn, beautiful premium-quality dessert apples are ready to harvest and enjoy.
Supplied as a strong, healthy, well-established specimen in a large 7.5 litre pot, this premium fruit tree provides instant impact and excellent establishment potential.
