recommends the James Grieve apple tree for two reasons - it's particularly suitable
for cooler areas (apples may drop prematurely in warmer areas), and it
also has a very refreshing taste. If picked in September it makes a great cooking apple which
retains its shape in pies. Leave it on the tree until it is fully ripe in October and that
acid taste disappears. It then makes a refreshing sweet eating apple with a nice tang to it.
No
real problems with diseases, and particularly easy to maintain. Handle the
fruit with care when picked because James Grieve bruises easily. It originated from Scotland
in 1893. Another good variety for apple juice when picked in October.
