When are apples ready to pick?
Most apples are harvested in October, but it depends on the type of apple you have. For example, Gala and Gravenstein apples ripen in early summer, while Fuji and Granny Smith are late-season varieties that produce in mid- to late November. Therefore, the best way to determine if your apples are ready to pick is to observe them. Fortunately, these lovely fruits provide us with many signs that indicate they are ripe, including color, texture, and flavor.
