Pink Pearl needs some time.

My wife also gave a thumbs up on the applesauce I made.

Chestnut Crabs are on the right. Red Dog on the left.

I kind of liked it. The apples were at slight watercore which is often sweeter. I had my wife try a Red Dog and asked her if we should add it to the Chestnuts. She said yes.

The dolgo seedling I call Red Dog is ripe and dropping. This is a young tree and I expect fruit to be smaller as the tree ages. My wife and I picked some Chestnut crabs and will use the two for apple sauce.

Starting to drop.

Did you taste it?

Do you have any fruit on Sweet Dog or Smitty’s?

The seeds were not dark on those I sampled. I think premature drop. I have seen that with high winds and all of the rainfall. A month ago, larger apples were dropping and appeared to have watercore, but the seeds were still white. I think rainfall made the apples too heavy.

I grabbed one from the tree this evening. Not fully ripe but it tasted good.

Yes. Two or three trees have fruit at the top of the tree which are hard to reach. Fruit appears to be typical dolgo size or a bit smaller. I could reach one and tasted it. Pretty sharp. High acid. I don’t know if I saved a picture.

Trail Crab is dropping just a few fruit.

No spray on this one, as you can tell.

Violi’s Hanging Crab is dropping some fruit. It might be a premature drop.
