For those of you who grow Goldrush, when do you typically harvest? I know it's one of the later ripening varieties and doesnt even fully ripen in some places - which could be likely in my area. So i'm just wonder, if they do ripen when that time might be?
I usually start tasting them anytime now and see how they are doing but I remember picking some in mid November in very cold weather and hurting my teeth they were so cold. Best time is last week in October early November
We have our first few Goldrush at camp this year. I'm glad this ? was asked. I wasn't sure when to try one - I guess I'll wait until Halloween or a little later. Anxious !!

Try one now or come on over to my place and try one. I have 3 trees that are loaded and 2 of the 3 have larger apples and one a bit smaller. This apple business is crazy!!
The few I've had over the last couple years have not ripened by Nov 15th in 5b. I'm guessing yours will ripen some years but not all for you Ed. They may ripen in storage, though.
I just got your message today after I got back from camp. As of the time I left to go to camp, I hadn't received directions to your place. ( I have them now and made a copy to put in my truck ! ) Also - getting cell-phone service at my camp is a hit & miss deal. To be assured of service, I have to drive about 3 miles up to a higher point on another mountain where I can always get service. I have your numbers - now - and can give you a call when I'm up again - likely later this coming week.
There were only 4 apples on the Goldrush. I ate one and I pulled another one for one of our retired members. I tried a couple of the All-Winter-Hangover crabs and they're sweet and tart both. A good eater in my book !!

Wish you came over and took a bunch of apples. I am not sure how they will fare tonight with temps going to around 23. It's 29 now at 11 pm. Picked some nova spy tonight just in case freeze affects apples
