As two examples, a rough guess is that PF-1, one of the earliest varieties grown in Michigan, will ripen 30 days before Redhaven, or approximately July 2, and Loring, generally ripening 12 days after Redhaven, will harvest approximately Aug. 14 in Berrien County in 2013.
The first thing you need to know is when the apples are ripe. Not all varieties ripen at the same time. Here in Zone 5, the earliest apples like 'Lodi' may be ready to pick in July, while 'Granny Smith' doesn't ripen until November. So it's important to know what varieties you are growing and what they are supposed to look like when ripe.
