Bramley’s Seedling Apple Tree

Bramley’s Seedling Apple Tree

One of the best apples for cooking with, it is considered the premier British baking apple for its sharp flavor and ability to cook down to a smooth puree. Bramley’s Seedling will make the best applesauce you’ve ever had and an excellent pie too. While it’s not as often prized for fresh eating, it is loved by those who like a nice acidic apple. Easy to grow, scab resistant and does particularly well in cool climates that are similar to its native England.
