Help with new apple tree

[Hedgehoggy]

Planted, staked, watered and enjoying the sunshine we still have. It looks very happy in its new home

Thanks for that Jim. I'm going to try the apple bread on the recipe page this weekend.

Bramleys are my favourite apple trees. We had one when I was a kid and the stored fruit lasted all winter for pies, puddings and apple sauce, and that was an awful lot of apples!

I hope you have as much pleasure from your new tree as we did from the old one which lasted for 60 years.

If anyone wants a bramley apple but don't have room for a full size tree a bramley seedling is a good option. I've grown a couple of these (we keep moving house) without problem.

I wanted a Bramley back home, I had a Kronprinz Rudolf and a Schafnase (best after the frost) and an Oderling which didn't produce great fruit but flowered into a blindingly white mushroom, possibly the most gorgeous tree I've ever seen. So I came to Blighty, bought tree, organised transport, got it to Austria and had it refused entry. Not a very cheerful chappie. I managed to get it sent to my Mom's and there it is to this day.

You can't get Bramleys over there for your apple pies, good job I love Apfelstrudel!

Good luck with your Bramley, Hedgehoggy! Let's hope the weather is kind now.
