{"product_id":"apple-braeburn-semi-dwarf","title":"Braeburn Apple Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eBraeburn Apple Tree produces a handsome, modern dessert apple with the crunch, spice, and versatility to move easily from the lunchbox to the kitchen. Medium to large fruit develops a glowing mixture of red, orange, and gold over green skin, while the dense flesh remains notably crisp and juicy. Its flavor balances sweetness and acidity with warm spicy notes, giving fresh slices more character than a simply sweet apple and helping the fruit retain personality in pies, crisps, sauce, cider, and dried snacks. Braeburn also keeps its texture and flavor well after harvest, extending the value of a productive fall crop. Fragrant spring flowers add beauty before the fruit develops. For shoppers seeking one tree that can deliver polished fresh-eating apples, dependable storage, and excellent cooking performance, Braeburn offers a remarkably complete package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBraeburn needs about 700 chill hours and grows in USDA zones 5–10. This semi-dwarf tree on M-111 rootstock generally ripens from October into November.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBraeburn can be self-fruitful in suitable climates, but a compatible pollinizer is important in colder areas and can improve fruit set generally. Granny Smith or Fuji are useful partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBraeburn Apple Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to large red-orange-and-gold apple over green skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, crisp, juicy, sweet-tart, and subtly spicy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh eating, baking, pies, sauce, cider, dehydrating, and storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e October through November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 700 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTree size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-dwarf on M-111 rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be self-fruitful, but a compatible pollinizer improves reliability and is recommended in colder climates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended pollinizers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/apple-granny-smith-semi-dwarf\"\u003eGranny Smith Apple\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/apple-fuji-red-semi-dwarf\"\u003eFuji Red Apple\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow fruit to color fully and store cool to preserve its exceptional crunch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e The variety was named for Braeburn Orchards near Motueka, New Zealand, where the chance seedling was first grown commercially.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrchard Planning Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/bare-root-tree-selection-guide\"\u003eBare Root Tree Selection Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/planting-bare-root-trees-for-beginners-a-comprehensive-guide\"\u003eHow to Plant Bare Root Trees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Rdt4TYt4fE0vpvNhXDgewxzwx4hg8xQc8_14DbtDKNc\/edit?usp=drivesdk\"\u003eFruit \u0026amp; Nut Tree Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRTawkXXtycdiTxe58p-gVjdAzuxvNCc7sZ9wri56m0rgvBQIbRObXuK2hSdDHL08ev0R3uzcupme6D\/pubhtml\"\u003eTree Rootstock Characteristics Chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21543554482289,"sku":"FT010","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/FT010.jpg?v=1747085669","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/apple-braeburn-semi-dwarf","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
