Hello you lot :-)
I have great fun grafting apple trees and growing apples from seed.
I also much like grafting up family trees, my biggest problem being that
down here in Cornwall I suffer much wind and blight type damage.
And believe it or not the best stock root that I use comes from pips "but"
the tree can be big ,or small these wither and die.
These Red Bramleys were red to crimson all over and of a huge size I must
have one.
Thanks foe all the posts.

Can anyone help,
I have seen today my first Red Bramley Apple.
I would like to graft the Bramley to some apple pip stock.
I have done this successfully with other types of apple
However where to find pruning's of the Red Bramley.
I live in SW Cornwall all help gratefully received
Why graft it onto a stock grown from a pip, why not just grow it as a
cutting?
Normal fruit trees are grafted onto dwarfing rootstock, your will grow
into a huge tree.
For a "red" Bramley tree try Brogdale.
Or get another cooker like Arthur Turner with wonderful flowers too.
