Thanks to reading this i now realise the Apple bramley seedling tree i bought needs polinating (i never new this) its a Triploid.This means it needs another Apple tree near by to polinate it.This can be a self polinating variety or if not and its a polinating variety then you need a third polinater to polinate the other polinating tree (hence Triploid) phewww!!
We thought we could just buy a cooking Apple tree and bobs ya uncle!
The other way round it is to buy a crab Apple tree,that apparently will do the job.
So it looks like we have to buy another Apple tree to get fruit as theres none in near by gardens.
