Notes
'James Grieve' apple (Malus domestica 'James Grieve') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. This apple is grown for fresh eating, cooking, juice, and hard cider. The fruit is juicy and pleasantly acidic when picked in early to mid September, and it sweetens after a few weeks. White spring flowers attract bees.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Tarragon, and Jerusalem artichoke.
