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.

Mirabelle plum: Small golden-yellow plums with a reddish blush when ripe. Very sweet and aromatic. Ripen from late July; fall freely when ready. Pick as soon as they soften — they ferment quickly on the branch.
