No, I said (or maybe I didn't, but what I meant to say was) Raintree Nursery has 5 different *crosses* of Cox's Orange Pippin - trees that have Cox's Orange Pippin as a parent - to wit, Karmijn de Sonnaville, Elison's Orange, Alkemene, Queen Cox, and Fiesta. Last year I spent many hours tracking down places that sell heirloom apples, and located some that sell Cox's Orange Pippin itself, and others that I've always wanted to try, like Winter Banana. My yard isn't very big (1/3 acre), and I also want to plant cherries and peaches and nut trees, so I am worried about making a committment to a fruit and then not liking it when it finally produces. Maybe others on the thread have better insight. I have some URLs but I think they are at work.

Try these guys:

We've already planted two figs, two paw-paws, and two pecans, from Edible Landscaping.

These guys sell apples as fruit, several different varieties - wish I'd known about them last fall! Very nice people.

I first ran into the Cox Orange Pippin in a Larry's market. They had imported them from England. I was hooked. I look for them all the time and have only seen them once in a QFC. They weren't great quality. A bit mushy. That's when I first had the desire to grow my own. Ihope they do have them and I hope they do well in this climate.
