    I remember my dad trying to grow Coxes, he messed it up somehow. The trees remained small and stunted and hardly bore any fruit.

    they need plenty manure under earth when planting protect roots with a good layer of earth. I was lucky my bro had a horse so got manure that way. then top dress every year with gp fertilizer. also dont be shy about pruning. obviously they need a bit of sun too

    Thank you.

    If I get a Coxs Orange Pippin, does it matter what the other one is ? or is it anything so long as it's different ?

    In Saffron Walden, there is an old walled garden growing veg and two large greenhouses with Grapes, Pineapples etc. They have dozens of Apple varieties and they have been pruned, is it Espalier ?.. Anyway, they are only 7 ft high, 7 ft wide and just one branch deep. In the season, they are smothered with fruit.

    One good thing about living in a high rainfall area is that most of the jobbies get washed away into the soil over the winter!

    You could also go for a crab apple for pollinating the Cox - no edible fruit, but beautiful ornamental trees
    LP12, Ittok (black), DV10X5, NVA Phono 2 (twin supply), NVAP50, Art Audio Quintet 15w power amp, NVA LS5 cable, Rega Ela mk1's.
    Sony CDP XB930.

    I have one of those but being a long and narrow garden it is probably 150 mtrs from where I want the Cox. I wonder if Bees will travel between the two ?
