A wide selection of culinary apple trees are offered for sale on a variety of rootstocks to suit all situations and tastes. The most famous variety in the UK, Bramley, originated 200 years ago, however there are many more desirable culinary apple trees to buy. Cooking apples are often green such as Grenadier, Lord Derby but others redden up such as Howgate Wonder.

They are generally divided into two categories acid and sub acid. Acid culinary apple trees tend to be sharp when cooked and require sweetening. Sub acid apple varieties are less sharp, so requiring little or no sugar and can be acceptable eaten raw. Trees are available as barerooted one year ‘maiden’ trees and some as little taller two year trees.

As a rule culinary apples are large – plenty of flesh after peeling and coring! They tend to be less fickle than dessert apples – most of the trees will grow well in most parts of the UK.
