Bramley's Seedling is the definitive English "cooker" - an apple variety used mainly for cooking purposes. Bramley is well-known for its rich sharp acidity - it has one of the highest acid contents of any apple variety. As a result it cooks down to a stiff but light apple puree, a key requirement for English apple cookery, with an excellent sharp flavour.

The copious juice makes Bramley's Seedling valuable for juicing as well, and the juice can also be used in cider production.

The apples ripen fairly late in the season, and store well.

Growing and Training

Despite its origins in the mild wet climate of the UK, Bramley's Seedling has a wide climate range and grows well in warmer climates.

Particularly when grafted on semi-vigorous or vigorous rootstocks and left to grow naturally, Bramley is likely to become a large spreading and attractive tree.

History

Bramley's Seedling trees are well-known for long-lived. The first tree was grown from a pip planted in a garden in England in 1809 - and amazingly this tree still survives.
