Description

The original tree was grown from a pip in the early 1800s in Nottingham by Mary Ann Brailsford and it was propagated by a local nurseryman in the 1850s, but by then the property where the tree was growing was owned by the local butcher, Mr. Bramley and he insisted on the tree bearing his name. It should really be Brailford’s Seedling! Abundant apples with firm pale yellow flesh, acid, excellent cooker. Green with red stripes. Very vigorous. Propagated from the original Bramley tree, so has excellent quality. The blossom attracts bees, and later any fallen fruit is eagerly consumed by thrushes and other similar birds. Bullfinches are, unfortunately, partial to the buds.
