Developed in Bristol in the 1970s as a compact clone of the classic Bramley's Seedling, it is around 20% less vigorous than its parent yet produces heavier crops. The large, flattish green apples are often flushed red or orange on the sunny side, and their sharp, greenish-white flesh cooks down to a rich, cream-coloured purée, perfect for crumbles, sauces and traditional apple pie. The fruit is ready to pick in mid-October and, stored somewhere cool, keeps until March.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis tree is grafted onto the very dwarfing M27 rootstock, which tames Bramley's naturally vigorous habit. It reaches around 1.8–2m tall, making it well suited to a large patio container, a small border or a courtyard. Grow in full sun or light shade in a well-drained, loam-based compost, and move into a pot at least 50cm across as the tree establishes. M27 trees have a small root system, so keep them permanently staked and water regularly through the growing season, especially while the fruit is swelling. A spring feed with a balanced fertiliser keeps cropping steady. Trees on M27 usually begin fruiting within a couple of years of planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBramley 20 is a partial tip-bearer, carrying some fruit at the ends of the previous year's shoots, so leave some of the shorter shoots unshortened when pruning to avoid removing next year's crop. It is also a triploid, which means it cannot pollinate itself or other apples. For a good crop it needs two other compatible apple trees nearby that can also pollinate each other, such as Discovery and James Grieve. In most built-up areas neighbouring gardens often provide this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach tree is hand-selected before dispatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAvailable from Pengelly Garden Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pengelly Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58817425572214,"sku":"108697","price":64.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/1766\/3020\/files\/Bramley20_ad263869-3366-4d85-a27c-6e5781866766.jpg?v=1790336452","url":"https:\/\/www.pengellygardencentre.co.uk\/products\/apple-malus-bramley-20-patio-11-5l-container-m27","provider":"PengellyGardenCentre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
