They also grow best in rich, fertile, well-draining soil.- Even though self-fertile, Braeburn will fruit better in the presence of another pollinator.Care GuidePlanting your Braeburn Apple:- Select an appropriate spot with enough space to allow your plants to grow. Dig over the planting site and remove any weeds.- Dig a hole twice the width of the pot, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, then add some good quality fertiliser, compost or well-rotted manure. We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.- Remove the tree from its pot and loosen the roots as necessary.- Plant at the same depth as the tree was in its pot. Spread Mycorrhizal granules in contact with the roots when planting.- Holding the tree upright in position with one hand, slowly backfill the hole with soil, so the soil falls back around the roots.- Compact the soil around the plant with your heel to ensure good contact around the roots.- For all trees, use our Tree Planting Kits including stakes, rubber ties and Mycorrhizal fungi, which is proven to aid tree growth and development.- Push 40cm of each stake into the soil next to each tree. Make a figure of eight around both the trunk and stake with a tie and fasten it off.- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.- Water the plants at least weekly especially in dry weather for the first 8 weeks.Aftercare advice for Braeburn:- Drought can severely impact the fruit yield of Braeburn so do not allow plants to dry out.- Once established for one season, they will become much more tolerant to a lack of water, as the root system develops.Pruning your Braeburn Apple:- There is no real need to prune trees and shrubs for the first couple of years. Prune established trees in summer using good quality secateurs, removing weak shoots and overlapping branches, to create an evenly spaced bowl shape.- Cut the current seasons branches back by roughly a third.- Unless you are growing in a specific shape, Braeburns only need minimal ongoing pruning to remove damaged, diseased or dead growth.- Prune when the tree is dormant in winter.Planting Time:October - AprilFlowering Time:April - MayFruiting Time:September - OctoberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

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.
Attractive, fluffy, lavender-blue, button-like flowers approx 2cm ( 3/4in) across are produced all summer on bushy plants with unusual, pineapple fragrant foliage. Very heat and drought tolerant, attracting butterflies and adding fragrance to borders or containers. Height 50-60cm (20-24 inches)
There are few sights and smells more arresting in the garden than a Katsura or 'Toffee Apple' Tree in mid autumn. Its heart-shaped green leaves turn shades of yellow, purple and red before falling to the ground and releasing a distinctive and intoxicating fragrance thats similar to fairground candy floss or sweet toffee apple, hence it's name, Heavenly! Peter experienced this last Autumn while walking in a lovely parkland setting, where the scent truly filled the air, as the Autumn colours were at their very best and richest, and now he is a big fan too! Growing to around 5m in a decade, this tree can eventually reach 15m and will do well in a really sunny spot or light shade. For a breathtaking display of autumn colour, plant in moist, well drained soils, and making a perfect speciment tree, plant Katrusa trees for years of pelasure.
