History
Albemarle Pippin was discovered in New York in 1759. It may have come from England about 1666. It was grown by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. This apple was a favorite of Queen Victoria, and was the only food she exempted from the import tax. Its popularity faded because it is difficult to grow.

A Word from Mother Nature on Shipping
Please note, that because we are dealing with a product of nature, we reserve the right to allow up to 2 weeks, to process an order. If your order needs to be delayed for any reason, we will notify you. We typically ship apples on Mondays and Tuesdays to avoid the shipment being held at a depot over the weekend. On some occasions, if we know that FedEx can deliver in less than 3 days, we may ship your order on Wednesdays.
