Stepover 'James Grieve' Apple Tree | Bare Root
- Variety profile: 'James Grieve' is a reliable, dual-purpose Scottish heritage apple producing soft, juicy fruit with a tangy flavour, suitable for both fresh eating and cooking.
- Planting position: Thrives in a sunny, sheltered site with neutral to slightly acidic, free-draining soil; enrich the planting area with well-rotted manure or garden compost prior to planting.
- Care and maintenance: Apply a general-purpose fertiliser and mulch in late winter, watering regularly during dry spells as the shallow root system requires consistent moisture.
- Container growing: Excellent for pots due to its compact habit; choose a container at least 45-50cm in diameter (approx. 30-40 litres), use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No. 3, and ensure adequate drainage holes are present to prevent waterlogging.
- Training form: Supplied as a 'stepover' tree, which is a low-growing horizontal cordon trained to approx. 45cm in height, making it ideal for edging vegetable beds or lining pathways.
