Jupiter is a modern cultivar of domesticated apple which was developed in England, by crossing a Cox's Orange Pippin with a Starking Delicious apple. According the Orange Pippin it is one of the best Cox-stye apple, with somewhat a more robust flavor, but more importantly, much more disease resistant. It is a heavy cropper and have a tendency to Biennial bearing if not thinned. Is also frost resistant, and has earned the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993.
