In this video I'm tasting an apple variety called cherry cox, which is a sport (genetic mutation) of Cox's Orange Pippin. It is an apple with complex flavors and a unique cherry component. Cherry Cox is a fairly acid apple and never super high in sugar it gets some scab, but is probably medium in susceptibility to that apple disease. It is a good grower and producer here in Northern California where Cox's Orange Pippin does poorly. Other apples of interest in this video are Sam Young, a dense, heirloom Irish apple with high sugar and good flavor. Egremont Russet, reliable, good to very good.
A plant sport happens when one bud on a tree mutates to grow a new variety. The resulting branch is grafted or rooted to make new trees of the new variety. There are many sports of popular apples, but they are not always better or even very different from their parents. Cherry Cox seems to be a stronger grower and does better in our hot dry climate the Cox's Orange Pippin.
-----------------------------------------
Sam Young. Fruit small, flattish, about an inch and half from the eye to the stalk, and two inches in its transverse diameter; eye remarkably large, having some of the calyx attached to it; colour yellowish clouded with russet, reddish to the sun; very apt to crack; flesh yellowish, firm, crisp, sweet and well flavoured. In use from the beginning of November to January. Tree flat headed, shoots declining, of a light brown colour ; leaves sub-rotund, acuminate, coarsely serrated, upper surface shining, under slightly pubescent. An abundant bearer, and healthy on all soils.
Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London, 1820
___________________________
Sam Young, aka Irish Russet:
Fruit of a smallish size, somewhat globular, flattened, about one inch and three quarters deep, and two inches and a half in diameter. Eye remarkably wide and open, in a broad depression. Stalk short. Skin bright yellow, with minute brown spots, and a considerable quantity of russet, especially round the stalk; in some specimens red on the sunny side, usually cracking. Flesh inclining to yellow, mixed with green; tender, and melting. Juice plentiful, sweet, with a delicious flavour, scarcely inferior to that of the Golden Pippin.
An Irish dessert apple, of high reputation, ripe in November, and will keep good for two months.
The merits of this very valuable apple were made known in 1818 by Mr. Robertson, of Kilkenny. It is certainly one of the best of our modern apples, and cannot have too general a cultivation.
