Bramley's Seedling

First grown from a seed by Mary Ann Brailsford in Nottinghamshire, England, in 1809, the Bramley’s Seedling is the undisputed king of culinary apples. It is a large, flat-rounded fruit with a vivid green skin that sometimes develops a slight orange-red flush. The flesh is very firm and exceptionally acidic, which gives it a legendary 'sharp' flavor. Most notably, when cooked, the flesh breaks down into a light, airy, and translucent fluff, a quality prized by bakers worldwide. The tree is a triploid variety, meaning it is exceptionally vigorous and long-lived, though it requires other varieties nearby for pollination.
