Apple · Honey locust
🗓 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.
Honey locust: Long, flat, brown seed pods (up to 40 cm). Ripe when fully dark brown and slightly leathery. The sweet pulp between the seeds is edible raw — tastes like a mild molasses-honey. Seeds require cooking. Avoid pods from thornless cultivars (often bitter). Distinguished from black locust: honey locust pods are long and flat; black locust pods are short and thin.
On the northeast side of the rest area on I-35 northbound. Honey locust is near the rest area shelter, and apple tree is to the northeast across the lawn.
