  • Crabb Apples

    Hi,
    My crabb apple tree at my allotment has got some lovely looking fruit on. They are about the size of a cherry and bright red.
    Just wondering how do I know when they are ready to pick?
    Thanks

    If you hold the apple and take its weight in your hand and give it a little twist. If it comes away easy in your hand with the stalk then it is ready to be picked

      You'll probably also notice a few or a lot on the ground, where the wind has helped them down

        Thanks for the advice. Didn't have many on last year but this year it has loads.

          I find crabbies are best when they start to fall naturally as they tend to be too small to just twist.
