I thought it was one of those where some need pollinating and some
don't, Bob? Iow, confusing! They do seem to be prone to all the ills an
apple tree can suffer though!


When I was an anklebiter and into my late yoof we had a (standard) Cox's
orange pippin tree (amongst the 35 other fruit trees...) and we never
had any pestilence descend on it in all that time.

Some years ir was more prolific than others, but that's to be expected.

Mind you, it was a _proper_ Cox, not one of these modern 'improvements'.
