King of the Pippins is quite a name to live up to and it makes a pretty good good of it, hence us introducing it into the range of apples we grow. When ripe the brownish orange flushed apples have occasional long red stripes. The medium sized oblong conical apples are sweet, crisp & juicy. The creamy white flesh has a rich flavour.With a picking time of early October it is at its best from mid October into December.
King of the Pippins was introduced in the early 1800s by Nurseryman Mr Kirke, of Kirke’s Blue fame, who give the apple its name. Because of its qualities as a dessert apple it went on to be much planted commercially, but like with so many other English apples, this is no longer the case
