I also have Williams Pride for the first time this
year. One single apple. I have wrapped it in a flimsy plastic bag hoping that it
will escape the attention of a passing deer as the apple sits at nose level. I
am looking forward to the pleasure of tasting it. I am not too sure when it
should be picked. In my zone 3, the apple is just starting to blush, a bit like
Lobos but unlike the Lobos which is red against a green background,
WilliamsPride appears to be turning yellow in the background and red on
top. What zone are you in? My apple looks at least a month away from being
ripe.

This was the first day of picking Williams Pride apple.
They ripen on the tree for the next couple weeks. Finished up picking all
my Desert King figs today. Just like eating candy. I just took a picture of
my apples with my digital camera. I can send any one a picture if
you should like to see these bright red apples. Dan Ester Eugene,
