🔍 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.
Plum: Colour fully develops (purple, red, or yellow by variety) and a waxy bloom appears on the skin. Softens slightly at the tip. Taste-test for sweetness — European plums are better slightly soft; Japanese types can be harvested firmer.
Many different varieties of apple trees (20-30 trees) and a grove of wild plums. Planted by a horticulturist who owned the land in the 1910's and 1920's. So many of these trees may be almost 100 years old. Very resilient. Only fruiting every other year, but plentiful when there is fruit.
