About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find ‚Cox Orange’ one of the most aromatic apples ever, fine, elegant, layered. However, this old variety is demanding: it is susceptible to scab and powdery mildew and needs a warm, airy spot. It is a variety for lovers.
You will enjoy a complex aroma with notes of pear and spice, fine acidity, tender flesh. It is a pleasure apple for the hand, less for storage.
