The Grenadier is an early cooking apple which is ready for picking around mid August.
It was discovered in the mid 19th century and was once widely grown but is now rarely produced commercially.
The Grenadier is however an easy apple to grow being resistant to many apple diseases and makes a good apple tree for the garden.
Grenadier apples have a wonderful apple flavour and cook really well, they make a good base for preserves of all sorts such as jams and chutneys which is a good thing as they are not particularly good keepers.
Not the most attractive of apples the Grenadier apple can have a ribbed effect. The trees in this orchard are used as pollinators for the Bramleys.
Other apples featured in The Orchard Year 's Blossom Walk are:
Emneth Early
Bramley Apple
Worcester Pearmain
Idared Apple Blossom
Discovery Apple Blossom
Gala Apple Blossom
