| I have a couple late ripening apples that are in their first year of production (Pink Landy and Fuji) and I was wondering if I need to panic if a frost or freeze is coming.
If a freeze is predicted, do you harvest all your apples like you would your tomatoes or can these guys handle the cold? Thanks!

| You don't have to worry about first frosts as a general rule because temps have to drop into low '20's to damage varieties like Fuji and Pink Lady. I expect my late varieties to be harvest well after first frost. |
