They also grow best in rich, fertile, well-draining soil.- Even though self-fertile, Braeburn will fruit better in the presence of another pollinator. Care Guide Planting your Braeburn Apple:- Select an appropriate spot with enough space to allow your plants to grow. Dig over the planting site & remove any weeds.- Dig a hole twice the width of the pot, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil, then add some good quality fertiliser, compost or well-rotted manure. We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.- Remove the tree from its pot & loosen the roots as necessary.- Plant at the same depth as the tree was in its pot. Spread Mycorrhizal granules in contact with the roots when planting.- Holding the tree upright in position with one h&, slowly backfill the hole with soil, so the soil falls back around the roots.- Compact the soil around the plant with your heel to ensure good contact around the roots.- For all trees, use our Tree Planting Kits Â- including stakes, rubber ties & Mycorrhizal fungi, which is proven to aid tree growth & development.- Push 40cm of each stake into the soil next to each tree. Make a figure of eight around both the trunk & stake with a tie & fasten it off.- Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.- Water the plants at least weekly Â- especially in dry weather Â- for the first 8 weeks. Aftercare advice for Braeburn:- Drought can severely impact the fruit yield of Braeburn so do not allow plants to dry out.- Once established for one season, they will become much more tolerant to a lack of water, as the root system develops. Pruning your Braeburn Apple:- There is no real need to prune trees & shrubs for the first couple of years. Prune established trees in summer using good quality secateurs, removing weak shoots & overlapping branches, to create an evenly spaced bowl shape.- Cut the current seasonÂ’s branches back by roughly a third.- Unless you are growing in a specific shape, Braeburns only need minimal ongoing pruning to remove damaged, diseased or dead growth.- Prune when the tree is dormant in winter.
