freckles 196 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 If thats the case then the powers that be in Southwell should be ashamed,what a money spinner for them it could have been,lets hope it can be saved. Nothing like brambly apple jelly with your roast pork. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,187 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 We have a clone from the original Bramley Apple tree in our orchard which has been producing fruit for over 20 years. It came from Merryweather's in Southwell. I understand the original clones were done by Nottingham University and are now widely available. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,900 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I love Bramley apples and havent been able to find even a near specimen that has all the merits of the Bramley. Its certainly a crime that its been neglected and hope it can regain at least some of its former glory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
