Malus domestica James Grieve Apples
James Grieve is one of the best apples there is. Early it is a very sharp tasting eater that cooks beautifully - one of the rare apples that can be cut small before cooking yet still hold its shape.

When you have gorged yourself you can put the remnants of your crop through a juicer to make the best apple juice you ever drank.
