Fiesta is a relatively new English apple, but with a very traditional English style and flavour. Cox's Orange Pippin is one of its parents, and it has inherited the classic Cox aromatic sweet/sharp flavour. Visually it also looks the part, with the attractive orange flush so typical of traditional English apples.

Its naturally sweet flavour is enhanced by training the tree in front of a warm fence or wall.
