Brand: Roots Plants
A great tasting dual purpose apple that's easy to grow
James Grieve apples are green with red streaks and juicy, cream coloured flesh
In early September the apples have a perfect sharpness for cooking and hold their shape well. Leave them on the tree and they'll sweeten later in the month - perfect for eating fresh!
The pink blossom is very resistant to frost, meaning that you won't lose your crop to a late cold snap
Extremely reliable and a heavy cropper, earning the RHS Award of Garden Merit
A compact tree that's ideal for small to medium gardens and even containers
Partially self-fertile - Pollination Group 3. Does not require pollination by another apple but will produce better crops if one is nearby. They need to flower at the same time. Apples in the same pollination group, or one on either side, can pollinate each other. In built-up areas it is unlikely that there won't be a suitable pollination partner within a mileMORE
Cordon trained - Max size H2m x W1m (Perfect for growing in a pot, on a patio or in a smaller garden)
M26 Rootstock - Max size H3m x W3m
MM106 Rootstock - Max size H4m x W4m. Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better-shaped tree. This can stop the tree from becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE

I bought 3 bare root trees from Roots last year. 2 died. I’ve bought another apple this year in a pot and hope it survives. Too early to tell so arguably foolish to ask me for a review!

James Grieve has always been a favourite apple, and I was pleased to find a dwarf root stock. I have had to plant this in a container as we have honey fungus prevalent in our garden. The tree came beautifully packaged.

My new tree arrived perfectly packaged and was exactly as described in the catalogue. It is a good height and seems to be settling well in its new pot. I followed the instructions given which were really useful and am hoping to see good growth from Spring. The price was very reasonable for its size. Thank you for excellent products and customer service.
