Crimson Bramley (apple)

Malus domestica 'Crimson 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 is green with red patches and the Crimson Bramley has a red or crimson colour as its name suggests.

Tree

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.
