How to Harvest Late Season Apples
Harvesting late-season apples in September is both rewarding and practical when done right. Start by identifying your apple varieties and checking for ripeness—look for vibrant skin color, ease of picking, and that perfect taste test. Equip yourself with picking bags, a sturdy ladder, and pruning shears to make the process safe and efficient. When harvesting, handle each apple gently, twisting and lifting to avoid bruising, and sort them carefully afterward. Damaged fruits should be enjoyed immediately, while quality apples can be stored longer if wrapped individually and kept in a cool, ventilated space. With the right technique, you’ll enjoy crisp, flavorful apples well into autumn.
