Description
One of the easiest and most productive cooking apples to grow. The fruits are green, flattish and distinctly ribbed. Cooks into a good sharp puree. The tree is compact and low in vigour, suiting smaller gardensGrowing Details:Common Name: AppleGenus: MalusSpecies: domesticaCultivar: 'Grenadier'Skill Level: BeginnerExposure: Full sunHardiness: HardySoil type: Well-drained/light, Clay/heavy, Acidic, Chalky/alkalineHeight: Rootstock M26 3-4mSpread: 3-4mDescription:Grenadier is self-fertile. It will therefore produce some fruit if planted by itself, but will yield more in the company of a pollinating partner.Grenadier is also quite an easy apple tree to grow in the garden, being reliable, resistant to the common apple diseases, and not likely to grow as vigorously as a Bramley. The leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid-June onwards. This is not a disease but is mainly due to this year’s contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree.
