Ribston Apple
The Ribston Pippin was raised at Ribston Hall in Yorkshire, England, around the early 1700s and is celebrated as a parent of Cox's Orange Pippin. Yellow flushed and netted with red-brown russet, it has firm, aromatic, intensely sharp-sweet flesh long regarded as one of England's finest dessert apples.
