This set provides the perfect solution for cross-pollination, ensuring a reliable fruit yield.
Includes one ‘James Grieve’ and one ‘Bountiful’ apple tree, chosen for their compatibility.
‘Bountiful’ requires a pollination partner to produce fruit, while the self-fertile ‘James Grieve’ crops more heavily with a partner.
Belonging to adjacent pollination groups (2 and 3), these trees are ideal partners for each other.
Enjoy delicious, award-winning ‘James Grieve’ apples, a green variety known for its melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Harvest versatile ‘Bountiful’ apples, a blush-hued fruit with a subtle flavour, originally cultivated for cooking.

Species: Apple

Plant your apple trees in a sunny, sheltered position, protected from strong winds.
Choose a site with fertile, well-drained soil. Dig in plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost to improve soil structure and fertility.
Plant trees so the graft point (the visible bulge near the base of the stem) is well above soil level.
Water regularly and thoroughly, especially during dry periods, until the trees are well established.
Apply a balanced general-purpose fertiliser in spring and mulch the base of the trees to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune in winter when the tree is dormant to maintain an open shape and encourage fruiting.
