'Howgate Wonder' apple (Malus domestica 'Howgate Wonder') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is grown for cooking, juice, and fresh eating. The fruit is large and ripens late, and it keeps for 3 months or more. Bees visit the spring blooms, and the tree is partially self-fertile.
