what are coxes apples

[haruhichan]

i need some help, please. are coxes apples a type of apples? or coming from a region?

I think they take their name from the man who first grew them, horticulturist Richard Cox, about 200 years ago - ish.
You could try Googling him.

Cox's orange pippins

a crop that is grown in Devon and Dorset
smaller
harvested later in the year
and keep well
