Due to the moderate climate along the shoreline of Lake Ontario (one of the Great Lakes), this
area grows some delicious apples. New York State is second in apple production only to Washington
state. I believe that the apples pictured here are Empires, a variety that is only grown in New York
State. Washington state cannot grow Empires and we ship Empires to them for their apple gift boxes?
These apples are still a couple of months away from harvesting. They have a lot of growing
to do and will be almost fully red in September/October when picked.
