Ginda. The seeds should be a dark brown. It is usually ripe in mid to late
September.

I have a Jonathan apple tree with about 2 dozen large apples hanging from
it. This is a very unusual occurrence, as squirrels have removed all the
fruit by mid-August in every recent year.
How can I tell when to pick them? Probably I should pick some now, even if
they aren't fully ripe, just to get some apples. You never know what
critter will take an interest in the tree tomorrow, after all.
