Howgate Wonder is one of the largest cooking apples in cultivation and a real beauty. It is so big that in 1997 a Howgate Wonder was recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest apple ever grown, weighing an amazing 1.67kg. Raised by G. Wratten at Howgate Lane, Bembridge, Howgate Wonder is a cross between Newton Wonder and Blenheim Orange. A flattish apple, pale yellow-green with conspicuous red and orange striping, the flesh is frim, juicy and quite sweet when ripe and cooks well. Howgate Wonder is a heavy and reliable cropper.

See our section on Pollination Groups to help you select your apple trees.
The rootstock for all our apple trees is the most vigorous available. We try to offer as many apple varieties as we can on M25 rootstock, which will produce the standard trees of a traditional orchard, where they would be planted between 6 and 8 metres apart. Please refer to our size guide for details.
Like all our apple trees, we offer Howgate Wonder bare root.. At the height of the lifting season there may be up to a month’s delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders for apple trees taken from March to September are confirmed in September ready for dispatch from November. Please note there is an overall minimum order size of £50.
