James Grieve Apple is a very well known dessert apple variety with medium-large apples that have an excellent flavour, sweet with an acid balance.
Although the James Grieve is a delicious dessert apple, if picked early they can also make good cooking apples. The apples have a warmly coloured yellow striped with orange skin. The round conical shaped apples will not keep for a long time. James Grieve Organic Apple Trees are hardy and are a good pollinator.
Supplied on Moderate Vigour (MM106) or Semi Dwarfing (M26) Rootstock, the apples are ready to be harvested from late August and will keep in the correct conditions until October.
Organic James Grieve Apple Trees are despatched in bare-root form between November and March
