What's a "Malus' Cox's Orange Pippin Apple" tree? I recently purchased one but never heard of this variety. What can you tell me about this type of apple tree?

Thanks.
 
Cox's Orange Pippin

A seedling of 'Ribston Pippin' from England in 1830. Fruits mature on September 10. This greenish yellow apple
has red stripes over an orange blush. The fruits have rough, scarf skin, and the fruit is not attractive. Fruits
average 3.0 inches in diameter and weigh about 0.5 pounds. Shape is elliptical and oblate. Flesh is yellow, firm,
and moderately juicy. Flavor is tart. The British regard this as the finest flavored dessert apple, but its poor
appearance and tart flavor make this old variety unworthy of trial in Virginia.




Considered by many experts as the finest dessert apple
grown. This orange-yellow colored fruit with yellow flesh
ripens in late September. It dates back to 1830 in
England.

Zones 4-10.
