🔍 When is it ripe?
Apple (Malus): Background skin colour shifts from green toward yellow; seeds turn brown when ripe. Fruit separates from the spur with a gentle upward twist. Aroma develops near the base. Wild Malus fruit is often small and tart — excellent for cider and jelly.
Crabapple: Small apples ripen from green to red, yellow, or orange by variety. Very tart raw but excellent for jelly and cider. Ripe when the colour is fully developed and the fruit lifts off with a gentle twist.
Couple smaller trees along fence, should be easy to pick. Just changing color as of 9/17/16. Also one true apple tree just north of power line pole - apples are full red with a yellowish sweet flesh, late ripening. Apples arn't that good themselves but may be good propagation stock.
