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; 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 overripe) and store cold but frost-free for use until January.
Our grower quality multi-branched trees have been grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock to provide a compact and manageable habit, which in this case will reach 6-7 ft / 2-2.3m tall. It is best to grow Bramley alongside another apple variety such as Braeburn for best fruit set, as Bramley is not self-fertile.
Supplied as an established plant in a 5L pot, approx. 90-110cm tall, ready to plant out.
Please allow us 7-10 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.
