This variety of apple has the distinction of being both an excellent cooking apple but also a sweet and juicy flavoured eating apple. The apples are large, yellow striped red. It keeps its shape well when cooked but has a very light taste.This variety has good frost resistance and has very heavy crops. The 'Howgate Wonder' also features deep green leaves which contrast beautifully with the white spring blossom.
