The message

There's no way I can think of putting this other than - Rusty, does James
Grieve have quite a prominent 'navel'? I ask because I had a very old tree
in a previous garden, probably 100 years old or more and never did identify
it for certain but was told it was 'probably' James Grieve.

Hum - can't unforget.

IIRC it's a medium-sized green apple with a touch of blush, and - er -
apple-shaped. That is, not top-shaped like a codlin, not
tangerine-shaped like a (proper) Cox.

Well, that sounds about right insofar as it goes, apple-wise. ;-)
