🔍 When is it ripe?
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.
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.
In the area of longer grass near the wildflower meadow and playground, there's a row of trees - about 3 plums and 2 crabapples. Harvested some plums end of August 2022, not huge quantities but very high quality.
