YouGarden Apple 'braeburn' Tree 90-110Cm Tall In 5L Pot

'Braeburn' is the UK's most popular eating apple variety by far and it will easily grow and flourish superbly in your garden. The crisp and juicy, white-fleshed fruits have what is considered by most to be the perfect sweet/tangy flavour balance, literally providing a flavour explosion with every mouthful. Beautiful spring blossom is followed by gorgeous fruit that will be ready to pick fresh from your tree by mid-October each season and will store well until the end of January if kept chilled but frost-free. Because 'Braeburn' is self-fertile, it does not need another variety to act as a pollinator. Specifications Availability: September to April Planting time: All year round Flowering time: April to May Fruiting time: September to October Supplied as an established tree, 90-110 cm (3-3½ ft) tall in a 5L pot, ready to plant out Top Tips Keep well watered, and if growing in a pot, use a good quality, soil-based compost. Add Rootgrow Mycorrhizal Fungi to the roots when planting to help establish your tree more quickly. Place your tree in a sunny position for the best crops. Care Information Apply a slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone, in early spring, and mulch to retain moisture. Water regularly, and don't let the soil dry out if planted in pots. Established trees don't require radical pruning - just take off any diseased, dying and damaged branches in late winter. Look at the overall shape and aim for an open structure of branches and remove any that cross over so they don't damage each other.
