Posted on September 28, 2023 by | Leave a comment

The Peninsula Fruit Club 2023 Fall Fruit Show is just around the corner!  Save the date, Oct. 28, and come and taste to your heart’s content.  The show opens at 10 am and runs until 4 pm at the West Side Improvement Club, 4109 West E Street, Bremerton.  Get your mystery apples identified—bring 5 or 6 ripe, unwashed apples of each mystery variety in a paper bag, be sure the stems are still on, and tell us about the tree.  If they are ripe before the end of October, please store them in the refrigerator in a paper, not plastic, bag.  This year we are accepting leaf samples along with the apples.  Bring a 12” stem with leaves in a plastic bag.  The plastic bag with leaves can be put inside the paper bag of apples.  Come and learn about growing fruit, get your questions answered, stock up on items for next year, and buy something new at the plant and tree sale.  We can accept cash, checks, and credit cards.  Admission is free.
