Greensleeves Apple


The Greensleeves apple,  introduced in 1966, was developed by East Malling Research Station as a cross between Golden Delicious and James Grieve. It has the sweetness of the Golden Delicious with a touch of acidity from James Grieves and is very popular with children. Perfect for school lunch boxes.

Greensleeves apples are grown here in our orchard and are available to buy from the farm shop at ~The Orchard Tea Room, Redmoor Lane, Wisbech, PE14 0RN.
Opening hours currently 8am -4pm Monday to Saturday, 9am - 4pm Sunday.
