June apple notes from all over

It's still about a month before the first local apples are ready to eat here.

But in Australia (above), there are still plenty of keepers in good shape from the spring harvest.

Meanwhile, in Ontario, the fall crop is gathering strength:

Sun, glorious sun! I count 50+ varieties that have set sound fruit, swelling, thanks to ample rain. This year's "Heavyweight" competition sees Bramleys off to a great start but we'll have our first crop of Wolf River this year, a reputed North American champ. #ontarioapples pic.twitter.com/V4OszVVkf7
