Apple Braeburn

A red flushed, crisp, sweet and juicy apple which requires a sunny, well-sheltered position, Braeburn was discovered in a New Zealand orchard in the 1950s. It is a late blooming tree (Pollination Group 4) which is partially self-fertile. Apples are ready for picking in October and will keep until March. Braeburn is a very important commercial apple world-wide. Does best in the warmer parts of the country.
