James Grieve Apple
James Grieve is a heritage apple cultivar that originated in Edinburgh, Scotland (1893). It was grown primarily for cooking, eating. Good taste, but poor keeper (bruises easily). The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented it with a watercolour study (1860), painted by Amanda Almira Newton, as official botanical identification records made before colour photography.
