12L Apple (Malus) Bramley 1.5m tall

A traditional cooking apple tree that earns its place

The Bramley Apple Tree is a long-established variety, known for its strong growth and dependable harvest. It is grown for use rather than display, producing large apples that have been used in British kitchens for generations.

Once planted, it becomes part of the working rhythm of the garden. Blossom in spring, steady growth through summer, and a harvest that has a clear purpose.

Who this tree is for

This suits gardens with space for a productive tree. It is a good choice for those who cook, bake or preserve, and want a reliable supply of apples each year.

It is often planted as a long-term feature, valued for what it produces rather than how quickly it performs.

Choosing the right size

This tree is available on three rootstocks, allowing you to match its growth to your space.

• M27 – A compact option, suitable for smaller gardens or container growing. Easier to manage and keep within reach.
• M26 – A semi-dwarfing rootstock that offers a balance between size and productivity. A practical choice for most gardens.
• MM106 – A more vigorous option suited to larger spaces, allowing the tree to grow more fully over time.

A variety with a clear role

Bramley apples are known for their sharp flavour and ability to break down well when cooked. They are widely used in pies, sauces and preserves, holding their place as one of the most useful cooking apples available.

In spring, the tree produces soft blossom before moving into strong fruit development through the growing season, with apples ready to harvest in autumn.

Delivery and ordering

Each tree is prepared to order by our specialist growers and is usually dispatched within 7 days. You can also choose a future delivery date if you are planning ahead.

This tree is supplied in its nursery pot and does not include traditional gift wrap. A personal message can be added to your order if required.

Planting and care

Plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil. Larger rootstocks will benefit from space to grow, while smaller options can be managed more easily in tighter settings.

It arrives established and ready to settle in, with ongoing guidance available through MyTree™ to support it as it grows.
