Cox’s Orange Pippin is an apple cultivar first grown in 1830 at Colnbrook in Buckinghamshire England by the retired brewer and horticulturist Richard Cox. Though the parentage of the cultivar is unknown Ribston Pippin seems a likely candidate. The variety was introduced for sale by the 1850s by Mr. Charles Turner and grown commercially from the 1860s particularly in the Vale of Evesham in Worcestershire and later in Kent.
