Growing and Training

Braeburn is generally an easy variety to grow, bit it does best in areas with warm climates and a long growing season.

It is self-fertile and does not necessarily need a pollination partner to produce apples, and is a good pollinator for other varieties that flower at the same time.


History

Braeburn was discovered in New Zealand in the 1950s, and is possibly a seedling of Lady Hamilton.
