Howgate Wonder

The Howgate Wonder Apple tree is a large tree. Its apples are red streaked over a ground of yellow/green and so have that properly old fashioned look epitomised in fairy stories. The flesh is cream coloured and has a crisp crunch (try saying that a few times!) to it which you may appreciate when the apple is properly ripe because Howgate Wonder is one of those apples that bridges the gap between cooker and eater. Mainly used as a cooker it makes a worthy opponent to the more famous Bramley and differs from it by keeping its shape when cooked, a bonus for apple tarts. The juice is a pleasant medium dry.   Sweetness Chart 2
