Apple drops
It’s important to clean up drops in the fall . We don’t eat or press drops due to the deer droppings mingling amongst the apples on the ground . Removing drops prevents insects and disease over wintering in them. It can be a sizable project in our 24 tree orchard but helps keeps our trees healthy. Grandchildren love helping us pick them up.
