Apples, you've seen one, you've seen 'em all
« on: June 14, 2004, 20:43:56 »



Unless the June drop depletes them, there should be a good crop from these 5 trees.
Is this a suitable set of picutres or would you like me to go and photograph some radishes?

I'm envious! That's a lot more apples than I have this year. What varieties do you have? This is going to sound silly but I never realised that baby apples can be red. My Discovery apples turn red when ripe but are green until they ripen.

First one is Rev Wilkes which only crops every other year, but 1lb apples. Next is Sunset I think, then possibly Bramley and the red one is Greensleeves and the last one is Crown Gold, but I could be wrong . Our Discovery has fewer than normal applets this year too. It is a very early flowering type and it was, cold, windy and dry. the bees were not about.

WOW Eric - wonderful selection of apples you have :)  I only have one measly Ballerina 'Charlotte' which is a cooker, but very nice, cooks like a bramley.  Yours are far more advanced than mine though.
Happy gardening all...........Pat
