Apple - James Grieve - Cooking/Eating/Juicing

James Grieve Apples

James Grieve is one of the best apples there is.  Early it is a very sharp tasting eater that cooks beautifully (one of the rare apples that can be cut small before cooking yet still hold its shape). As it ripens further it becomes sweeter, milder and softer with a texture not dissimilar to a ripe pear. When you have gorged yourself you can put the remnants of your crop through a juicer to make the best apple juice you ever drank.

Hugely reliable, James Grieve apple trees (which were bred in Scotland) crop well even in difficult areas. Use September-October. Self fertile and a pollinator (please remember that in the apple world even the most self-fertile apple carries heavier crops if it is cross pollinated by another variety.
