Cox's Orange Pippin

Cox's Orange Pippin, often simply called as Cox or Cox's Pippins, is an apple cultivar first grown in 1825 or 1830 at Colnbrook in Buckinghamshire, England, by the retired brewer and horticulturist Richard Cox.

Though the parent of the cultivar is not known, Ribston Pippin may be a candidate. DNA analysis of major apple pedigrees has suggested Margil as the parent of Cox, with Ribston Pippin being another Margil seedling. The variety was introduced for sale by the 1850s by Charles Turner, and grown profitably from the 1860s, mainly in the Vale of Evesham in Worcestershire, and later in Kent.
