Braeburn Apple Tree

Braeburn Apples (Malus 'Braeburn') are crisp and juicy, grade-A baking and dessert apples! You'll enjoy their sweet flavor combined with a tart edginess that really brings out the one-of-a-kind tang that Braeburn exudes. Known for high yields and vigorous growth.

These are medium to large, round apples that are bi-colored yellow and green with red striping and a dark-red blush. The firm-textured interior flesh is creamy white, juicy and crispy with a sweet-tart flavor!

Fragrant white flowers appear in spring, followed by large Apples that are ready for harvest in mid-October. The production of both the fruit and flowers is prolific, providing an abundance of both bounty and beauty.

The flowers will attract all kinds of bees, butterflies and even early hummingbirds. Those first arriving beneficial pollinators will appreciate the early spring feast, as well you and your neighbors when these snowy white blooms explode onto the scene!

Originating from New Zealand, these are popular commercial Apple varieties, widely grown for stores because of their long shelf life and ability to travel well. Braeburn keeps their quality for months in cold storage, so you can easily manage your harvest for future use.

Nature Hills trees are sold as 3-year old landscape grade trees, and Braeburn fruits between 3-5 years of age, so you won't need to wait for long until your first crop.

While self-fertile, you’ll achieve a larger yield with multiple trees. Other suitable pollinators for the Braeburn are Fuji, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp and McIntosh. You’ll still have a great crop even if you only have for one tree!
