Braeburn Apple Tree
Superior for all uses!
 (0 customer reviews)
Crisp, high-quality fruits hail from New Zealand. Fast becoming a favorite here, too! Tangy flavor is superb for sauce, baking, juice and eating fresh. Holds for months in the refrigerated. Self-pollinating. Ripens in Oct.
Our apple trees are guaranteed to be shipped disease free and true to name. Standard trees grow to about 22-25 ft. bear in 4 to 6 years and produce 10+ bushels at maturity. Most apple varieties produce best when planted within 100 yards of another apple variety.
Select standards if you have plenty
of growing space—or if you plan to
stock your shelves with applesauce.
The trees grow to 25 ft. tall, bear in
3-6 years and produce 5-10 bushels
at maturity.
If you have limited space or simply
want a little tree with big benefits,
Li’l-BIG is for you. Reaching 6 ft.
tall at the most and producing half
a bushel of fruit, Li’l-BIGs are a
snap to spray, prune and harvest
compared to standard size trees. The Lil big tree produces fruit just 16 months after planting and it can be grown in a container. Li’l-BIGs also are grown on specific
rootstock which makes them
resistant to fire blight, a devastating
disease of fruit trees.
