Stepover 'Bramley's Seedling' Apple Tree | Bare Root

Product Features

• Classic English cooking apple renowned for its strong acidity and white flesh that cooks down to a fluffy puree.
• Ideal for small spaces, edging vegetable plots, or lining pathways without obstructing light or views.
• Vigorous, heavy-cropping triploid variety that requires two pollination partners for successful fruit production.
• Supplied as a dormant bare root tree, ready for immediate planting in winter to establish a strong root system.

Growing Instructions

• Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil to maximize fruit ripening and flavor.
• Water thoroughly after planting and during dry spells; apply a mulch of well-rotted manure in spring to retain moisture.
• Perform summer pruning to maintain the restricted form and encourage the production of fruiting spurs.
• For container growing, choose a pot at least 45-50cm (approx. 30-40 litres) in diameter with drainage holes; plant using a soil-based compost like John Innes No. 3, ensuring the graft union remains above the soil line.
• Training Method: This tree is trained as a 'Stepover', a single-tier horizontal form shaped like a 'T' on a dwarfing rootstock, positioned approximately 45cm from the ground.
