{"product_id":"apple-malus-christmas-pippin®-cordon-m9","title":"Apple (Malus) Christmas Pippin® Cordon M9","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA modern, RHS Award of Garden Merit-winning dessert apple, discovered as a chance seedling in 2000 and introduced commercially around 2010–2011. Often dubbed \"the new Cox\" — it offers a similar depth of flavour to Cox's Orange Pippin, but from a tougher, more reliable, easier-to-grow tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFruit is round-conical, with thin yellow skin flushed and streaked scarlet-red. The flesh is sweet, crisp yet melting, juicy and aromatic, with a rich, honeyed sweetness and a touch of sharpness for depth. Best flavour develops after a few weeks off the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA reliable spur-bearer, making it a great choice for trained forms. Flowers in mid-season (pollination group 3) and is not self-fertile, so needs a suitable pollinating partner nearby (ideally from group 2, 3 or 4). A heavy, dependable cropper. Picked from early-to-mid October and stores particularly well, keeping right through to December — even into the New Year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrown as a cordon on dwarfing M9 rootstock, reaching approximately 2–2.5m in height when trained on a single stem — a space-saving way to grow this excellent modern variety along a wall, fence, or in a smaller garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSupplied as a healthy, well-rooted tree, ready to establish in its new home. A fantastic modern alternative for anyone who loves a Cox but wants an easier, more forgiving tree.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pengelly Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58785651065206,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/ChristmasPippin2_f11c2796-b1c1-48ee-99b9-f4e2ad855138.jpg?v=1789990256","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/apple-malus-christmas-pippin%c2%ae-cordon-m9","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
