Okay, let's get this out of the way.
We will NOT have Damson Plums
this season.
This is the off year for production.
Mother Nature is in charge.
Don't kill the messenger.
***** This is an Approximate harvest schedule *****
Winesap apples will be available pre-picked only, when they are ready for harvest mid-October.
