Malus domestica - Old apple tree ‘Bramley’ - Rootstock M9- 45L pot - approx. 2m

These ‘old’ apple trees instantly add shape, character and fruit to the garden; mature trees in spacious pots, ready to be planted straight away.

The Malus domestica ‘Bramley’ is a world-famous English apple variety, particularly prized for its large, firm and aromatic cooking apples. The apples are very juicy and have a fresh, tangy flavour, making them ideal for apple pie, compote, chutney and other dishes. This old apple tree is supplied at a height of approximately 2 metres, grown in a 45 litre pot at rootstock M9, a slow-growing rootstock that produces a compact, easy-to-manage tree with rapid fruit production.

The Bramley apple tree blooms profusely in spring with pale pink to white blossoms, which attract many bees. The harvest follows in the autumn, producing large, green to pale yellow apples that are ideal for cooking, baking and preserving. The Bramley is not fully self-pollinating; for a good yield, a pollinator such as ‘Cox Orange’, ‘Elstar’ or ‘James Grieve’.

The tree is hardy and feels most at ease on a sunny spot with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. The M9 rootstock keeps the tree more compact, making it ideal for smaller gardens or orchards where manageability is important.

As always, these heavy, mature trees shipped safely on a pallet to prevent damage.
