James Grieve Eating Apple

Price range: €200.00 through €350.00

James Grieve Eating Apple Tree

Originating in late 19th-century Scotland, ‘James Grieve’ stands out as one of the most reliable and adaptable fruit trees for chilly northern climates. It yields a generous harvest of golden-yellow apples lined with streaks of deep orange-red. Early in the harvest, the fruit offers a crisp, tangy bite that holds its structure perfectly in baked dishes and juices. Allowed to remain on the tree, the flesh transforms into a tender, sweet dessert apple packed with juice.

Thanks to its frost-hardy spring blooms, this RHS Award-winning tree consistently escapes late freezes that damage other varieties.
