| Details | |
| Hybrid parentage | Bramley apple |
| Cultivar | Crimson Bramley |
| Origin | Nottinghamshire, 1913 |
The Crimson Bramley was first discovered growing on a branch of a Bramley apple tree in Nottinghamshire in 1913.[1] Like the Bramley apple, the Crimson Bramley is used for cooking due to its sharp taste, the only difference being with the apples is the colour of the skin. The Bramley apple being green with red patches and the Crimson Bramley having a red or crimson colour as it's name suggests.
The tree also has the same dimensions as a bramley apple tree and the Crimson Bramley fruit can be seen growing on some old specimen of the bramley apple tree.
