Apple Blossom Time
The apple is the most widely grown fruit. Apple trees grow everywhere except in the very hottest and very coldest regions of the world.
The apple is celebrated: the apple blossom is praised for its beauty and the fruit is lauded for its goodness.
Apples vary from crisp to soft, from juicy to dry, from acid or insipid to bitter, bland, or aromatic.
The “fruit” of knowledge which Adam and Eve ate in the Garden of Eden, some say, was an apple. The ancient Greeks often told of a tussle between the Olympian gods over a golden apple that ended in the destruction of Troy.
Apples can range in color from green to gold to yellow to scarlet orange to pink to dark red to purple. All apples carry the remains of the apple blossom at the fruit’s end opposite the stalk.

Winter Apples
Have you noticed fresh, local apples at the farm market in the past couple of weeks? Fresh, local apples at the end of December? Apples that have not traveled half way around the world?
What’s up?
Well, the answer is simple.
There are more than 7,000 varieties of apples but not all of them come to harvest at the same time. In the course of a year, there are actually three apple harvests: an early-season harvest, a mid-season harvest, and a late-season harvest.
The harvest for early-season apple varieties begins in July and peaks in August and September. The harvest for mid-season apples begins in August and peaks in September and October, and the harvest for late-season apples begins in September and peaks in October and November--and sometimes runs right into December.
The apples you are finding at the farm market now are late-season apples.
