Apple James Grieves

James Grieves is suitable for northerly, colder temperatures of the country, although for a good tasty crop will require a good sunny position. These golden-red crisp apples will keep their shape when cooked and have a tangy flavour, that will become sweeter and milder when the apples are stored where the flesh with become softer, melting in the mouth and suitable for eating. James Grieves are famous for being very juicy and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Partially self-fertile it's a good pollinator for other apple trees so is the ideal choice for larger gardens. Reaching a mature height of 3 metres, the deciduous foliage will illuminate with showy pink-white flowers from April to May that will encourage pollinators such as butterflies into the garden. As with other trees, prune to keep down to a manageable height or restrict by growing in large containers. We supply hardy two-year-old trees grafted onto dwarf root stock called M26. Many cheaper alternatives supply the smaller M27 root stock, which is unreliable and will only produce a fraction of the fruit that the M26 will. Two-year-old bare root trees supplied.
