This guide is for home gardeners and fruit enthusiasts looking for an easy-to-grow, compact apple tree that produces abundant, crisp fruit. The Thompson & Morgan Mini Apple Malus Braeburn offers excellent yields and long storage potential, making fresh apples available for months.

This mini apple tree will reach a mature height of up to 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet).
The Braeburn is partially self-fertile, meaning it can produce some fruit on its own. However, for the heaviest and most consistent crops, it is highly recommended to have another compatible apple variety nearby for cross-pollination.
You can typically harvest the delicious Braeburn apples in October.
Braeburn apples have excellent storage potential and can be stored for up to four months in cool, dark, and well-ventilated conditions.
This apple tree thrives in a position that receives full sun for optimal growth and fruit production.
Yes, its compact size makes it an ideal choice for growing in large containers on patios or balconies, provided the pot has good drainage and the plant receives adequate sunlight and water.
Ensure the plant is in full sun. Check for a nearby compatible apple tree (or a neighbor's tree) for cross-pollination, as 'Braeburn' is partially self-fertile and benefits greatly from a pollinator for heavy crops.
Consistent watering is crucial, especially during dry periods and as fruits are developing. Ensure the tree is receiving adequate nutrients; consider applying a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in spring.
Verify the tree is receiving full sun exposure. Check for proper drainage to prevent root rot. Ensure the soil has sufficient nutrients; a soil test can help determine if amendments or fertilizer are needed.
Upon receiving your 9cm potted plant, prepare a planting site that receives full sun. If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and to the same depth. If planting in a container, choose a pot at least 45-60cm in diameter with good drainage. Remove the plant gently from its pot, loosen any circling roots, and place it in the prepared hole or container, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with good quality compost, firm gently, and water thoroughly.
This mini apple tree thrives in full sun. For optimal fruit production, it is highly recommended to plant it with another apple tree variety for cross-pollination. This could be another Braeburn (if self-fertile varieties are different clones) or a different compatible apple variety. Ensure adequate spacing if planting multiple trees, allowing for air circulation.
