Peninsula Fruit Club’s Fall Fruit Tasting Show is almost here! We would like to invite everyone to the 2026 Fall Fruit Tasting Show and Tree Sale on Saturday, October 24, at the West Side Improvement Club, 4109 West E Street, Bremerton 98312, from 10 am to 3 pm (note earlier closing time). Join us for a fun day of fruit tasting and learning about growing fruit. Just take the Loxie Eagans exit off Highway 3 and follow the signs. Admission is free. Donations are greatly appreciated.
Here’s your chance to have those mystery apples identified. Choose apples with normal color and shape. Bring 6 ripe samples of each kind, do not wash or wipe the fruit, leave the stems on, and store in the fridge in a paper sack. Bring a 12” long branch with leaves in a ziplocked plastic bag. Do not use bread bags, saran wrap, or paper bags for the leaves, as they dry in one day. Remember paper for apples and plastic for leaves. Label each bag so you know which tree they came from. Tell us all you can about the apples: Where is the tree? When do they ripen? Do they fall when ripe? How long do they keep? How old and tall is the tree? How big is the trunk? All these clues help to figure out what variety of apple you have.
We’ll have a large display of different cultivars of fruit all available for tasting. Keep track of what you like, and you may be able to have a tree of it made at our Spring Grafting Show in March 2027. Find new favorites–choose from samples of hundreds of different varieties of apples, pears, and other fruit. The vast majority of these varieties aren’t available in any store, and some are quite rare. Browse our information tables. Learn about pests, diseases, and mason bees. Ask questions of our experts. Stock up on supplies for next year, and find something interesting at our tree and plant sale.
See you there!
