Granny Smith is my latest apple, not the best variety for this cool climate, but it usually ripens enough for us, who all like a slightly sour apple, and I generally pick just before a hard frost. We haven't had a hard frost yet, so most of the apples are still on the tree.

Are the apples receiving anything from the leafless tree, or should I just pick them?
