I was hoping these apples would have ripened sooner, but it has been still sooner than any of my other apples. I have planted some other early season apples lately, so I will see in the future if they produce earlier than this apple.

Pristine Apples First Fruiting Year
The Pristine Apples are getting close to ripening. These apples should start to ripen this month and be my earliest eating apple of the year.
Fruiting Hop Tree
My young Hop Trees have been reliably producing seeds. Once mature, these seeds will be brown and are dispersed by blowing away in the wind or on the snow.
Breba Fig
This is the first year that my Brown Turkey Fig has produced and ripened a Breba Fig. Ironically, this year I bought a Desert King Fig that suppose to only produce brebas.
Poisonous Beauty
Red Baneberries are considered poisonous, but the bright fruit may be eaten by wildlife. I always notice the plants, as the fruit isn’t eaten very fast. There aren’t many of these perennials in the woods.
Blueberry Fruit
Blueberries have had problems growing in my harsh climate. Yet sometimes I do get some fruit.
Goumi Fruit
I continue to enjoy Goumi fruit. I only have one bush that is producing, but now it is producing enough for me and the birds.
Long Mulberry Fruit
The Illinois Everbearing Mulberry has longer fruit the any other mulberry I am growing. This cultivar can produce fruit for nearly 2 months.
Mulberry Popcorn Disease
Mulberries have been resistant to disease and highly productive in fruit. But now a disease has appeared here that ruins the fruit. Only time will tell how severe it is in my location.
Red Mulberry
I’ve bought some Red Mulberries from the Missouri State Nursery. They are starting to fruit and starting to look like White Mulberry fruit. So as it ends up, I may still be without any Red Mulberries. Makes me wonder if anybody is selling true Red Mulberries.
