I bought my trees on Bid - up, Apple/plum/pear. The first year was 1 pear. This year half a doz. pears , 2 plums. All good My apple tree was good, half a doz.+ a nice red/green and a good size, But sharp not juicy what did I do wrong ?
Many apple varieties benefit from being stored for several weeks - it develops the flavour and sweetness. There are several ways of doing this, including wrapping the fruit individually in newspaper and storing them in boxes in a cool place - have a look on line. But as Fidget says, it depends on the variety.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I have three cordon apples - Lord Derby (cooker) picked this week, Katy which I've almost eaten and Red Devil which has to be kept for at least a week after picking otherwise it's too sharp.

Probably nothing. Do you know what the varieties are?
