The first #apples of #harvest23 have set in our orchard. About 6mm in diameter right now, they'll grow slowly at first, by cell division for the next 8 weeks orvso. After that, they continue to grow, but by cell expansion. They have about 150 days to grow another 70mm in diameter, to turn out as juicy, tasty, ripe apples by next October.
