Jupiter (apple)

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.

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.
