bramley apple trees?

Posted by beldownunder NSW (My Page) on

Hi
I'm after a couple of Bramley apple trees for my garden. I've found out that it's considered a 'heritage' tree here, though in the UK where I hail from, they're everywhere... ;)
I've contacted a number of 'heritage' nurseries and they're all telling me the same thing, esp in South Australia, that drought is making production impossible.

Does anyone know where I can get one from?

Many thanks

Annabel

Hi Annabel

A nurseryman in Tasmania usually propagates the Bramley apple (a great cooker) each season along with scores of other heritage varieties.

You can write to him:

Bob Magnus
C/- Post Office
WOODBRIDGE TAS 7162

All of his varieties are grafted onto dwarfing rootstocks to keep the trees manageable, easier to net and they frequently bear in their second season! Now is the time to order so write or call him for his catalog.

John, in Canberra
