GardenAction 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.
