Apple Houses Open for U-Pick Fun
Apple picking season is early this year. Apple house open this weekend. Here's a guide to what to expect and where to pick.
Apple season in Georgia is a little earlier this year. U-Pick houses are opening on Aug. 26. But not all apples are ready at the same time. If you want to pick apples in the coming weeks, here is what to expect.
Late August/Early September Apples: Mutsu and Jonagold are late August/early September apples. Both are sweet/tart and good for cooking, as well as eating.
Early/Mid September Apples: Rome Beauty and my favorite the Stayman Wine Sap are early to mid September apples. Rome is slightly tart, while Stayman’s can make you pucker. Both of these apples are great for cooking and eating.
Early October Apples: Granny Smith are tart eating/cooking apples available in late September and early October.
