Notes
'Bramley's Seedling' apple (Malus domestica 'Bramley's Seedling') is a tree for specimen planting and the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for cooking, juice, and hard cider, and the tart fruit ripens late and keeps for 3 months or more. White and pink blooms open from early to late spring and attract bees. It is not self-fertile, so plant two different apple trees nearby for pollination.
Pairs well with Pink Lemonade blueberry, Thimbleberry, Hummingbird's mint, and Christmas fern.
