Malus domestica Jupiter
Jupiter is an intensely flavoured juicy apple with textured flesh and red/orange skin. It was bred from Cox's Orange Pippin crossed with Starking Delicious in 1966, is a good substitute for a Cox's - and is easier to grow. Jupiter is a tall - as opposed to flattened apple with firm flesh and a distinctive acid taste.
Jupiter is a late flowering triploid - please remember that triploids need pollination and are incapable of returning the compliment.... If you would like to see the apples that will pollinate Jupiter, take a look at our List of Apple Tree Pollinators
Jupiter crops late and is an excellent keeper so you can use it from October-January.
As with all potted trees, you must water your tree until leaf drop in autumn - a thorough soaking once a week is good, even if there is some rain.
