Almost all of the apples are harvested. Some are a little too late, and no longer full flavor. I didn't get much of an early variety harvest this year, and missed some of the ones that did. The thing about gardening is, each living thing has it's own time and season. While there is flexibility, you have to read the signals that nature provides.
Anyway, there are still lots of apples. This is from the columnar type, Scarlet Sentinel. These are certainly not "Scarlet" apples, just a blush of red. They may not be fully ripe yet. They have a nice flavor, mildly sweet, not much sourness. Nice apples, no scab at all. This tree had no care other than pruning lower branches out of deer range, and no watering at a this year.
Mixed apples from the front yard. The Greenish ones are GoldRush. They are late ripening, known for keeping a long time. The others are a mix of what remained, some Rubinette, Queen Cox, and a couple of others. The basket is from the Jonathan / Jonared / Others apple tree.
This is a mixed box. The scabby ones are Airlie Red Flesh. The others are a mix of Baldwin, Opalescent, Sutton Beauty, and a few others.
