Apple 'Braeburn' – The Nation’s Favourite Eating Apple
Enjoy the crisp, juicy delight of Apple 'Braeburn', Britain’s top choice for a flavourful eating apple. This variety is a must-have for any garden, thanks to its high yields, excellent storage potential, and reliable growth habits.
Why Choose 'Braeburn'?
Delicious Fruits: Produces smooth, bi-coloured apples that are crisp, juicy, and packed with sweet-tart flavour.
Heavy Crops: Early to crop from a young age, with abundant harvests by October.
Long Storage Life: Fruits can be stored for up to 4 months, keeping your harvest fresh through winter.
Compact Growth: Grown on M9 rootstock, this dwarf variety reaches a manageable height of 2.5m (8ft), perfect for smaller gardens.
Pollination Friendly: Not self-fertile, so it thrives best when planted near another apple variety for cross-pollination. If space is limited, a nearby neighbour's tree can do the job!
