Bramtot cider apple is a French cider apple introduced in 1872 by a Monsieur Legrand, a nurseryman in the town of Yvetot in Normandy, one of the main cider-producing areas of France. A relatively small, dark red apple with a bittersweet flavor that is high in tannins. The fruit is typically harvested middle of fall and is well-suited for making both sweet and dry ciders, as well as pommeau and apple brandy.

Size of tree
Our trees range in height from 4-8 ft. in our field and trimmed to 4 to 5 ft. when shipped. Our young two year trees are most often feathered (side limbs). The trees diameter (caliper) is often 1/2 to 3/4 inch; *As noted by University of California Scientists and other qualified professionals the most successful trees often have caliper from 1/2" to 5/8" and usually establish faster than smaller and larger planting stock. .
Pruning tip
