Apples ready for harvest in Minnesota

In Minnesota, autumn carries more than crimson leaves—it brings the crisp promise of apple season. From mid-August through late October, orchards across the state open their rows of Honeycrisp, Haralson, and dozens of other cultivars, each bred for flavor, resilience, and charm. Today"s image captures that moment: branches heavy with ripe fruit, ready for harvest.
