Laxton's Superb

Dessert


UK; raised 1897 by Laxton Brothers, Bedford. Wyken Pippin X Cox's Orange Pippin. Introduced 1992. RHS AM 1919, FCC 1921.
Some of the richness and complexity of Cox, but sweetness is the main feature; finely textured, quite juicy flesh. Formerly grown for market, but it's biennial bearing lead to its demise. Still popular garden apple; will grow where Cox fails to thrive.
