When harvest time comes, it's a pleasure to harvest home-grown fruit trees. For example, harvesting apples, although it seems like a very simple thing, just reach out and grab them and take them off. But if you want to eat the most ideal apple, or need to pay attention to the following aspects.
Timing
The timing of the apple harvest is important. When you pick the apples at their ripeness, you will have ripe fruit with a sweet taste, not crunchy apples.
And different varieties of apples ripen at different times. Some varieties of apples are early, ripening in the summer. We call it the Apple of Summer. And there are many varieties of late-ripening apples.
If you can't time the harvest for different varieties of fruit, use the color of the apple. Get rid of the red part of the apple, and look at the "ground color" of the apple. If it is a green cultivar, the "ground color" has changed to yellowish green or creamy. It's ripe. In the case of yellow cultivars apples, the "ground color" changes to "golden" when it is ripe.
How to pick up
Before picking apples, you need to prepare:
Choose a sunny and dry day, because the moist air will cause the apples to become damp and rot.
Prepare your tools in advance: gloves, ladder, Picker, Picking Apron, basket, etc.
