Grow Britain's most famous cooking apple with the superb Bramley’s Seedling Apple Tree, supplied here as a premium large specimen approximately 5–6ft tall in a 7.5 litre pot by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this exceptional fruit tree is renowned for producing heavy crops of large, juicy cooking apples with the perfect balance of sharpness and flavour.
Bramley’s Seedling has been the nation's favourite cooking apple for over a century and is considered the benchmark variety for pies, crumbles, sauces, baking, freezing, and preserving. Its large fruits cook down to a beautifully soft texture while retaining their rich, distinctive flavour, making it an essential addition to any kitchen garden or home orchard.
During spring, the tree becomes covered in masses of fragrant white blossom lightly flushed with pink, attracting bees and beneficial pollinators. By late autumn, generous crops of large bright green apples, often flushed with red where exposed to the sun, are ready for harvesting.
Supplied as a strong, healthy, well-established specimen in a large 7.5 litre pot, this premium fruit tree provides instant impact and excellent establishment potential.
