🔍 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.
Raspberry: Deep red (or gold/yellow for golden varieties) and slides off the receptacle — the hollow centre is the tell. Does not pull: a ripe raspberry separates at a touch. Extremely fragile; use within hours of picking.
Weeping and black willows mixed with crabapples, some cherry, grape, raspberries. Mock strawberry (safe to eat but tasteless) is under black willow branch that fell over towards field, along with Holly closer to the trunk. Beware of poison ivy.
