Apple 'Braeburn' is one of the world's top commercial apples, with delicious, crisp, juicy flesh and a superb sweet-tart flavour. It is an excellent keeper, and its fruits can be harvested from late summer to mid-autumn. Apple 'Braeburn' produces pink buds that open to white flowers in the spring. It is partially self-fertile, but it is best to plant it with another cultivar that has a similar bloom period, such as Apple 'Fuji' or Apple 'Granny Smith'. Apple is deciduous and native to Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and China. Apple 'Braeburn' was discovered in 1952 as a chance seedling by O. Moran in the Moutere Hills near Motueka, New Zealand and was cultivated by the Williams Brothers nursery in Motueka, New Zealand.

Pollination: Self-fertile — crops well on its own, no second tree needed.

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
