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.

Message: Hi there , just moved into hnew home and inherited a James Grieve tree. Is there any way this tree can be contained in size as it is a big garden, without ruining the crop?

Message: Why does my James Grieve produce lots of apples one year, and not many another year, is it to do with watering, or rainfall. I have just the one tree. Answers welcome.

Message: Our James Grieve apple tree branches have sagged and bent over, like they did last year, probably because of the weight of the apples. Three branches from the same junction point have broken off. Apart from lessening the load by removing apples is there any other solution to this. There has always been an abundance of fruit from this tree even allowing for the tree shedding the smaller apples by itself.
