This would likely explain why my franken apple tree (has 5 varieties of apples grafted to its trunk) only produces 1-2 apple varieties per growing season. Each major branch represents a type of apple. Though, the identification tags have fallen off the tree. At least one of the varieties is golden delicious.
Washington State's apple season typically runs from August to November, with the peak harvest occurring in September and October. The harvest dates vary depending on the apple variety, with some varieties ripening earlier or later than others.
By apple variety:
- August: Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady
- September: Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and Jonathan
- October: Braeburn, Cripps Pink, and Mutsu
- November: Empire, Rome, and Stayman Winesap
