King of the Pippins or Reine de Reinettes[1][2][3][4] (French) is an old cultivar of domesticated apple originating from France, and is still used in its original form as well as in many derivative cultivars that have been bred from it.[1] It was also formerly known as Golden Winter Pearmain,[2] because of its ripening period at late fall.[3]
Unlike most apple cultivars it is slightly self-fertile.[4]
It has earned the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993.[1]
