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!

#ProPlantTips For Care
Preforming best in organically rich, loamy soils on the acidic side, Braeburn needs well-drained soil and regular access to water. While drought tolerant once established, be sure to protect your investment by providing water during times of drought.
If puddles remain on your soil after a rain, or watering, consider elevating the planting area. Add 18 - 24 inches of soil above the native soil line and plant your tree directly in that mound.
Use the "Finger Test" by sticking your finger into the soil near the roots to the second knuckle. If it's moist, skip watering that day. If dry, a nice long drink best
Apple trees require full sun for the most blooms and largest yield. Hardy in growing zones 4 and up to zone 10, these are easy to grow trees with vigorous growth.
A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.
Prune to remove deadwood, incorrect branching, water growth and also to thin the fruit for larger apples. Pruning is best done when dormant.
We take pride in delivering the highest quality plants with healthy roots and full, well-established stems and foliage. Our fruit trees are always in high demand. Quantities of these Braeburn Apple Trees are limited. Order now to avoid disappointment.
