12L Apple (Malus) Bramley's Seedling 1.5m

A classic cooking apple tree with a long-standing reputation

The Bramley’s Seedling Apple Tree is widely regarded as one of the finest cooking apples available. Known for its sharp flavour and soft texture when cooked, it has been a staple in British gardens and kitchens for generations.

Once established, it becomes a productive and dependable part of the garden, offering a harvest that is as useful as it is familiar.

Who this tree is for

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

It is often planted with a long-term view, valued for its consistency and proven performance.

A variety known for its cooking quality

Bramley apples are recognised for their sharp, acidic flavour, which softens when cooked into a smooth, creamy texture. This makes them particularly well suited to pies, sauces and traditional recipes.

In spring, the tree produces blossom across its branches, followed by fruit that develops through the growing season and is ready to harvest in mid to late autumn.

Rootstock and growth

This tree is grown on MM106 rootstock, a semi-vigorous option that allows it to develop into a larger, more traditional fruit tree. It is well suited to planting in the ground where there is space to grow, offering strong establishment and consistent cropping over time.

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. As a more vigorous tree, it benefits from space to spread and is best suited to planting in the ground.

It is fully hardy in UK conditions and establishes well with regular watering in its early years.

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