Apple · Pear
🗓 Season: August · September · October · November
🔍 When is it ripe?
Apple: Background colour changes from green to yellow or cream (variety determines final colour). Seeds inside should be brown. Flesh yields slightly to thumb pressure. A ripe apple releases with a gentle upward twist — no pulling. Check the ground for natural drops.
Pear: Unlike apples, pears ripen from the inside out. Harvest when the skin colour lightens and the fruit separates with a gentle upward twist. Ripen off the tree at room temperature — leave on a counter until the neck yields to thumb pressure.
NOTE: CambridgePPF, the charity maintaining Wandlebury Country Park & Coton Countryside Reserve ask that no fruit or nuts are picked. If anybody wishes to collect any then prior permission from CambridgePPF should be sought and only few fruit/ nuts are picked so that there is ample leftover to support the needs of local wildlife. Those picking should consider making a donation to CambridgePPF. Contact via www.cambridgeppf.org.
