Laxton's Pearmain is a dessert apple bred by the Laxton brothers in Bedfordshire, England, from a Cellini × Cox Orange Pippin cross. First developed in 1897 and introduced in 1922, it received an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society that same year. Best picked in mid-October and eaten through January, this fresh-eating variety is well-suited to long storage.
