Pixie Apple

The Pixie apple is a delightful English dessert variety, introduced in the 1940s as a seedling of the Cox’s Orange Pippin. Known for its small to medium-sized fruit with bright yellow-green skin, often flushed with red, Pixie offers a sweet, aromatic flavour with a subtle tartness. Ideal for fresh eating, Pixie apples are typically ready for harvest in October and store well into late winter, maintaining their crisp texture and complex taste. As a self-sterile variety in Pollination Group 4, Pixie requires a compatible pollination partner from groups 3, 4, or 5 to set fruit. With a mature height of 2–4 meters and a spread of 2–3 meters, depending on rootstock, Pixie is a fantastic choice for home gardens and orchards alike.
