Description

‘Braeburn’ in the most popular dessert apple in the UK. Discovered in New Zealand in 1952, it is named after the orchard where it was first grown.

Famous for its incredibly juicy, firm, white fleshed fruits with greenish yellow skins streaked with orange and red, its flavour is considered to have a perfect balance of sweetness and acidic tartness. This refreshing taste sensation is what makes this such a popular apple.

Beautiful pale pink blossom in April and May is followed by the large fruit that can be picked from late September. They keep very well if kept cool, easily lasting until January, so don’t worry too much about the bumper crop that ‘Braeburn’ will deliver as you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy eating it. Although it’s a dessert apple, it’s wonderful in puddings such as tarts because it maintains its shape and flavour and doesn’t release too much liquid.

‘Braeburn’ is self-fertile, so it doesn’t need another apple nearby to pollinate it. However, the already excellent harvest will increase further if there is one.

Supplied as a bare root tree, 1.35-1.45m tall on a dwarfing M9 rootstock, growing to a height and spread of 2.5m.

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
  • Select an appropriate spot for your apple tree, making sure that you give it enough space to grow to its full size.
  • Dig a hole twice the width of the roots, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, and add some good quality fertiliser such as Blood Fish & Bone (wash your hands afterwards!).
  • Aim to plant at the same depth as the soil mark on the trunk.
  • Holding the tree upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, and gently shake the plant, so the soil falls back around the roots.
  • Use your heel to compact the soil around the plant to ensure good contact around the roots.
    If you're planting into pots, place some old rocks, stones or gravel in the bottom of the pot for drainage and ballast.
  • Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as 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.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
