Thought ‘Braeburn’ couldn’t be improved on? Hold my apple juice…Meet ‘Braeburn Hillwell’, basically it’s Braeburn 2.0. A sport (mutation) of ‘Braeburn’ with improved red colour.
The result is a perfectly-sized, crisp-red, eating apple with wonderful aromatic flavour which grows on a compact, low-maintenance tree that grows well in most soils, preferring a sunny, sheltered spot.
Harvest your apples from October to early November. ‘Braeburn Hillwell’ is an excellent keeper that can be stored right through to March.
Self-fertile in nature, this tree produces good crops even with no other trees nearby. Certified with RHS Plants for Pollinators status, ‘Braeburn Hillwell’ appeals to bees and other pollinating insects.

Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery – but if youd rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot to your basket along with your tree.
