Bramley's Seedling is a large, flat, firm apple with greenish-yellow skin.  It is great for baking and cooking as well as being a good cider apple, with firm, juicy, sharly acidic flesh.  It is high in Vitamin C.  It is scab and mildew resistant, blooms late, but is a triploid, so must be pollinated by other late blooming apples.  It bears heavily, but can be biennial.  It can become greasy skinned in storage and is only a fair keeper.  Ripens in late October to November.

Bramley's Seedling came from the British Isles where is has been a traditional cooking and cider apple.  Originated in the early 1800s.

Many heirloom varieties have some natural resistance to apple scab and other diseases, since they were often discovered and grown well before fruit growers started to use chemicals for disease control. However, you may still want to be vigilant about fire blight, apple scab, and other fungal diseases and spray when the need arises. Protect from insect damage like normal.
