Low stem 80cm high - 5 litre pot. The Braeburn apple tree is a popular fruit tree known for its sweet and slightly tart apples. This tree is medium sized and produces an abundance of red-green apples with a firm texture from October onwards. Braeburn apples are ideal for both fresh consumption and baking. The tree grows well in fertile, well-drained soil and needs a sunny spot to flower and fruit optimally. Pruning in winter is essential to keep the tree healthy and to improve yield. Braeburn is self-pollinating, but cross-pollination with other apple varieties can improve fruit production. It is an ideal choice for any orchard.

Low stem means that the tree is grafted onto a slow growing rootstock, which means that the trees bear fruit faster and grow less tall. The advantages of this are that they are suitable for smaller (vegetable) gardens, so that you can grow more varieties in the same space. It is also handy that you can harvest easily, safely and without a long ladder.

In the fall, the soil is still warm and moist, which means the trees will take root well in the soil. Plants that are planted in the fall have a better developed root system than plants that are planted in the spring. They will also grow better and can better withstand periods of drought. Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted all year round.
