HONEY PIPPIN APPLE

Honey Pippin was raised by Justin Brooke in the 1950’s and introduced by a nursery near Newmarket in Suffolk. Presented to the National Fruit Collection in 1981. Named Honey Pippin to reflect the sweet honeyed taste with a strong accent of Cox Orange Pippin flavour. More conical in shape and less troubled by disease than the true Cox apple. Good cropper producing medium sized yellow green fruits with orange red flush. Flesh is creamy yellow with a crisp and juicy bite.

Our Adams Honey Pippin bare rooted trees are lifted at the start of the bare root season in November, when the apple trees become dormant, and made available through to March the following year. This period is the ideal time for economical planting. You will however have to wait a year to pick your crop as bare root trees cannot be picked in their first year. For all year round planting why not choose from our selection of container grown apple trees. They do cost more but are older, more established and ready to crop.
