Apple harvest time varies by variety and growing region. Some varieties are harvested earlier than others. In general, apples are in season in late summer and fall in most regions. However, the exact harvest time varies by variety and climate. Some varieties such as Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Cripps Pink are harvested in late summer, while others such as Granny Smith, Jonathan, and Rome are not harvested until fall. Some varieties can be harvested into the winter. Apples are usually stored to ensure their availability throughout the year, but are not always as fresh as apples harvested during the harvest season.
