Ribston Pippin Dwarfing

From Yorkshire UK around 1700, thought to be the parent of both Cox's Orange Pippin and Sturmer. Dark orange with quite a bit of russet on the skin and a reddish stripe. Rich dense aromatic flesh makes it one of our favourite eating apples. 'Redolent of Autumn' said an English friend.

Pollination Guide

  • Pollination is far simpler than most people think. Generally, unless self fertile simply get 2 or more different varieties in the same group (eg pears) to ensure adequate pollination. A more comprehensive explanation can be found in our Pollination Guide
