But I know what you mean about the ripening being off, because the apple trees in my backyard do the same thing. They finally ripen, only to have a few rotten spots from bugs and birds.Amy Saiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346366018143891761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-25874505938975802912011-04-08T14:59:53.237+01:002011-04-08T14:59:53.237+01:00Willow.
