Anyone know what the season is for Cox's? I was somewhat surprised to be buying english cox's at the end of feb, at a price that sugests that they are in season. I would have thought that noramally apples ripen in the fall, rather than towards the end of winter. Are they now grown over winter in greenhouses, or will this just be the very end of the seasons apples which will have been stored over winter?

All apples have roughly the same season, though some are somewhat earlier than others. They begin to ripen in late summer and continue into the autumn. They also keep very well in good conditions.

I believe Cox's have been changed  in my lifetime. They used to be small and rather green, not attractive in appearance. They have now been bred to be a bit bigger, and with a better colour, at the cost of sacrificing their incomparable flavour. A supreme example of human stupidity, I think!

Pippin in California?

I have not done an exhaustive search for the follwoing, in fact almost none... There is an apple that is sold with some abundance in California (SF area) called Pippin. The Pippin I refer to does not look like the pictures attached here: it is very green and earthy; perhaps the least appealing sphere to the eye amongst many - an ever expanding force that may portend its possible collapse [I moved from these pippinesque areas several years ago; unknown to my current location and elsewhere in the US] as psychology consumes reality, bit by bit. I would say, as a US/WestCoast person, the hardest, tartest apple ever (the best, to me, or I would not be writing ths). How does this relate to the ' rarely seen in the US' comment that arises from the UK. By the way I note that the UK must be applauded for its contibutions to Wiki; most objective, and making entry for the unknown asides in all disciplines that this absurd place has no time for in historically reveberant efforts to remain on top of the world (Empire).

• Pippin means grown from a pip, so many apples have the word pippin in thier name. Unless it has Cox in the name the apple you saw is not likely to be related. Cox's Orange Pippins are reddish on at least one side when ripe and are sweet, so I suggest the apple you saw is nothing to do with COP.

Cox Orange Renette

The picture is captioned "Cox Orange Renette". What does this mean? Is it the same as Cox's Orange Pippin? Googling Cox Orange Renette mostly gives pages containing the image or this wiki article, or derivations of them.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.72.54.34 (talk) 15:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
