Create design onlineAbout Braeburn & Gala Twisted Apple Tree
Braeburn & Gala Twisted Apple Tree is a container offer pairing two named apple varieties, Gala and Braeburn. The seller's listing confirms that the two varieties are supplied together in one pot but does not identify the rootstock or mature dimensions. Treat mature size as unknown until the rootstock and growing form are confirmed, since rootstock strongly affects apple-tree vigor.

## Growing profile
Gala is Malus domestica 'Gala' and Braeburn is Malus domestica 'Braeburn'. Plant in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil; the two cultivars have overlapping clay and loam soil guidance. The cited cultivar sources describe spring flowers and autumn fruit. Gala is commonly earlier than Braeburn in the cited New Zealand combination guidance, though local climate shifts harvest timing.

## Maintenance
Confirm the supplied rootstock, final planting form, and mature dimensions with the seller before spacing; sale height is not mature height. Prune annually according to the verified form: free-standing apples are generally pruned in winter, while trained forms are pruned in late summer. Thin developing fruit as needed and follow local pollination and disease guidance. [RHS apple-growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/fruit/apples/grow-your-own)
