A versatile apple, they are gorgeously tasty picked straight from the tree and also ideal for cooking, making tasty desserts.

Ballerina apple trees are the original and best columnar fruit trees as their unique, virtually branchless habit is a genetic trait and not just a result of intensive nursery training and pruning. This means they are sure to keep their shape over the years without further skilled pruning.

As well as being productive fruit trees, Ballerinas make spectacular garden ornaments when grown in a large pot. They are superb patio plants and look wonderful displayed either side of a doorway or garden gate where you can really appreciate their lovely white spring blossom followed by a good crop of juicy red apples. Raised at the famous East Malling Research Station in Kent, they are perfectly suited for the British climate, making them easy to grow and reliable - perfect for novice gardeners or those strapped for time.

'Braeburn' in the most popular dessert apple in the UK. Discovered in New Zealand in 1952, it is named after the orchard where it was first grown. Famous for its incredibly juicy, firm, white fleshed fruits with greenish yellow skins streaked with orange and red, its flavour is considered to have a perfect balance of sweetness and acidic tartness. This refreshing taste sensation is what makes this such a popular apple. Beautiful pale pink blossom in April and May is followed by the large fruit that can be picked from late September. They keep very well if kept cool, easily lasting until January, so don't worry too much about the bumper crop that 'Braeburn' will deliver as you'll have plenty of time to enjoy eating it. Although it's a dessert apple, it's wonderful in puddings such as tarts because it maintains its shape and flavour and doesn't release too much liquid. 'Braeburn' is self-fertile, so it doesn't need another apple nearby to pollinate it. However, the already excellent harvest will increase further if there is one. Supplied as a bare root tree, 1.2 m (4 ft) tall on a dwarfing M9 rootstock, growing to a height and spread of 2.5 m (8 ft).
