Blossom of ‘James Grieve’ Apple


Blossom of ‘James Grieve’ Apple

This is a self-fertile apple and I'll be growing it in a large pot along with my Plum, Almond and Cherry trees. All on semi dwarfing rootstocks.

I have often thought about growing an apple tree in a pot Karen, so you will have to let us know how much fruit you get.

Yes, please let us know, Karen. Pretty close up.

Thanks Rose and Kate. The advice was, with this semi dwarfing rootstock, m26, a pot of 50cm diameter is needed, and this will restrict the tree to about 2m in height.

Thanks Karen.

I will gradually pot it on until we get to the 50cm size.
