Hawley is a large yellow apple cultivar that is used for eating fresh. [1] Although the fruit are delicious, the tree is not very productive, and the fruit are often blemished or rot at the core. [1] It is therefore good as a home orchard tree, but not commercially profitable. [1] The Hawthornden apple has also been incorrectly known as Hawley. [2]
