1. Cox’s Orange Pippin apple

2. Pink Lady apple

   One of the best-known modern apple varieties – and one of the most popular pages on this website.

3. Granny Smith apple

   The most instantly-recognised of all apples, and perhaps Australia’s most famous export.

4. Blenheim Orange apple

   An 18th century English dual-purpose apple which remains very popular as a garden variety.

5. Egremont Russet apple

   The definitive English russet apple.

6. Arkansas Black apple

   A long-keeping tart apple from Arkansas, USA – which goes almost black in storage.

7. Fuji apple

   A very attractive modern apple, crisp, sweet-flavoured, and keeps well.

8. Crispin (Mutsu) apple

   A versatile dual-purpose apple, sharp but still pleasant to eat fresh.

9. 
   

   Spartan apple

   Attractive, crunchy, sweet, easy to grow, and with the characteristic delicate wine-like “vinous” flavor of the McIntosh family of apples – but flavour fades rapidly in storage so definitely best eaten straight from the tree.

10. Jonagold apple

    Very popular commercial variety
