Apple Tree - Hawthornden

I hadn't heard of the seventeenth century Scottish poet William Drummond (mea culpa), but the Hawthornden apple was named after his birthplace. Hawthornden is an attractive spreading hardy tree. It's a lovely old cooking apple, with a delicate pink flushed fruit. Unfortunately this was its downfall; widely planted in the early nineteenth century, as fruit was transported greater distances Hawthornden's easily bruised skin made it less popular.


Supplier : R.V. Roger Ltd.

See our section on Pollination Groups to help you select your apple trees.
We supply apple trees on the most vigorous rootstocks available. They were created specifically for use in the UK and produce healthy, heavy cropping trees for our weather conditions.

MM106 produces a good garden sized apple tree, around 4 metres tall. Grown as a free standing tree it won't need staking, although initially best to use a cane to support your new plant. M25 rootstock will produce the 6m 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.

All our apple trees are bare root, so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.

Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
