James Grieve Dwarfing

Originated in Scotland in 1890, thought to be a seedling of Cox's Orange Pippin and the parent of Lord Lambourne. A particularly beautiful apple, with red stripes overlying a skin of yellow/green. The flesh is tender and melting, very juicy with just that perfect sweet/acid balance like a good mango, mandarin or pineapple. Very memorable.

Pollination Guide

  • Pollination is far simpler than most people think. Generally, unless self fertile simply get 2 or more different varieties in the same group (eg pears) to ensure adequate pollination. A more comprehensive explanation can be found in our Pollination Guide
