About YouGarden, YouGarden Apple 'Bramley' Bare Root Tree

Considered the 'King of Cooking Apples' by respected chefs and professional fruit growers, 'Bramley' was raised from a single seed planted by Mary Ann Brailsford in 1809. Since then it has gone on to become the world's best-known and favourite cooking apple, standing the test of time over 200 years. It is considered supreme because its fruits have the perfect acidic flavour required for use in the kitchen and the almost pure-white flesh becomes incredibly light and fluffy when cooked. 'Bramley' is an incredibly heavy cropper once established, with high-quality fruits that will store through the winter months. Pick them in early October (before they get over-ripe) and store cold but frost free for use until January. Our grower-quality, multi-branched, bare-root trees have been grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock to provide a compact and manageable habit, which in this case will reach about 2m (6-7 ft) tall. It is best to grow 'Bramley' alongside another apple variety such as 'Braeburn' for the best fruit set, as 'Bramley' is not self-fertile. Specifications Availability: November to May Planting time: October to April Flowering time: April to May Fruiting time: September to October Supplied as a 1.2m tall, grower-quality, multi-branched tree. Grown on M26 dwarfing rootstock Top Tips Keep well watered, and if growing in a pot, use a good quality, soil-based compost. Add Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi to the roots when planting to help establish your tree more quickly. Place your tree in a sunny position for the best crops. Care Information Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone, in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture. Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots. Established trees don't require radical pruning - just take off any diseased, dying and damaged branches in late winter. Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches and remove any that cross over so they don't damage each other.
