Fuji. Almost ready.

@RosellGuillem Moltes gràcies pel teu comentari! Aquest és un tipus de poma japonesa anomenada "Shinano Gold." Aquest any, algunes d'elles han sortit una mica més petites.

シナノゴールドだよ。もうすぐ収穫だよ。

[Seiji Nakashima @trtss1]

@RosellGuillem Cap a principis de novembre començarem la collita. A partir d’ara la coloració anirà agafant un to més bonic.

@e_of_blandings As you might know, Shinano Dolce is a cross between Golden Delicious and Sen'shuu, not Chiaki.

Shinano Dolce: the taste of autumn in every bite. 🍂🍎

@Arun_Sawhney Thank you for sharing the video.
My first impression is that, for late August, the trees seem to have too few leaves, and the remaining ones look quite weak.
I would recommend paying close attention to fungicide applications starting in spring through early summer.

Fuji/M.9. Multiple cordon.
The current fruit size is about 38 to 40 mm in diameter. The trees are trained using a V-trellis system.

@Arun_Sawhney Thank you for your message!
Is this photo taken just before harvest? I'm really interested as well — may I ask where it's grown and at what elevation?

Fresh shoots stretch skyward, fueled by the rain.

@PvanArkelFA Thank you! 😊
I’ve tried it before, but I found it a bit difficult to use.

Thinning Fuji apples every day 🍎✨ Right now, the biggest ones are just over 10mm in diameter.
