Bramley Apple Tree  ('MALUS 'BRAMLEY')

Bramley Apple Tree (‘MALUS ‘BRAMLEY’) was £14.99 now £9.99
Offer Extended – FREE delivery on all bareroot pre-orders until Midnight Sunday 22nd September. Pre order now for dispatch from late September.’ The ultimate English cooking apple comes to your garden in the form of the ever popular Bramley.  Known for its high level of acidity and excellent intense flavour, chefs automatically reach for the trusty Bramley, leaving other ‘cookers’ largely forgotten. Many English apple recipes usually call for apples which simmer down to a puree – and the intense sharpness of the Bramley guarantees the lightest and fluffiest of purees.  Bramley apple trees are exceptionally vigorous – at least a size larger than most other apple varieties on any given rootstock. They are quite easy to grow and boast eye-catching vivid pink blossom. The only obstacle for gardeners is that the Bramley apple tree is a triploid variety, with three sets of genes instead of the more typical two. As a result it needs two different pollinating apple trees nearby to guarantee effective pollination.  Our trees come as 5-6ft tall, ready-to-plant specimens that quickly establish into  heavy croppers. A ‘Secret’ root system restricts height, so there’s a maximum yield of accessible fruit and no need for ladders or climbing.
