Braeburn is in flowering group 4. Braeburn is self-fertile and does not need a pollination partner, although fruiting may be improved if there is a compatible tree of a different variety nearby.



How to grow Braeburn apple trees

Braeburn is generally an easy variety to grow, but it needs a long growing season. It is successful in the southern UK and does very well in France and Italy.

Being a commercial variety, it is well-suited to the more dwarfing rootstocks such as M9. Braeburn and most of its sports are self-fertile and do not necessarily need a pollination partner.
