It's time to pick apples. Here's what I'm calling the spitz, or Esopus Spitzenburg apples picked off the two trees. Maybe about 13 gallons or 50 liters in volume.

The Jonathan's. 7 milk crates from the big tree and almost a full tubtrug from the one graft limb on the gravenstein tree.

@firephoto I love Jonathan apples but I read online that they get cedar apple blight really badly. Do you spray?
@jblue We don
t have that out west that I know of. Fire blight is the blight of concern around here, or most places I suppose but it's dealt with mostly by pruning and burning that pruned material.
