Fiesta (Red Pippin) Apple
- Unit price
- / per
The predominantly sweet flavor of Fiesta, reminiscent of Cox, with a touch of acidity, positions it as a good sweet apple, and in optimal conditions, it can rival the excellence of Cox's Orange Pippin, becoming truly exceptional. Inheriting the storage longevity of its Idared parent, Fiesta lasts well into the following spring in a basic cold store, remaining enjoyable to eat fresh.
Fiesta excels as an excellent garden variety in most parts of the UK, offering a hassle-free alternative to the more demanding cultivation of Cox. However, its peculiar straggly growth pattern, leaning sideways rather than vertically, makes it unsuitable as a specimen tree. Despite this, for gardeners seeking a convenient and rewarding Cox-style apple, Fiesta stands out, excelling in both ease of cultivation and flavor quality.
May be susceptible to aphids, including woolly aphid and rosy apple aphid, fruit tree red spider mite, codling moth and other caterpillars
