Design with this plant

Overview

The Braeburn Apple (Malus pumila 'Braeburn') is a deciduous tree, typically reaching 12-15 feet tall with a 10-14 foot spread. Esteemed for its crisp, sweet-tart fruit, the 'Braeburn' has red-streaked, yellow-green apples ready for harvest in late fall. This cultivar requires full sun and well-drained soil, plus a compatible pollinator for optimal fruit production. Hardy in USDA zones 4-8, it adds seasonal color and edible interest to landscapes.
