Newton Wonder was found by an innkeeper growing in the thatch of the Hardinge Arms in Derbyshire, 1870! It is believed to be a cross of Dumelow’s Seedling and Blenheim Orange and cooks down to a juicy, creamy puree - excellent for baked apple. It has a milder flavour than Bramley’s Seedling, which can be rather sharp and acidic. A late season variety, it stores well into spring, by which time it makes a good brisk and fruity eating apple. It is an great choice for northern growers or those with exposed land as trees are vigorous and healthy, and is sure to give heavy crops.
