When does the harvest of the rosehip begin and end?
Rosehips are barely perceived by most people - at most as an ornament in the dreary autumn and winter. Few know that they are edible and extremely healthy. But when should they be harvested?
Harvest time: from late summer to spring
The early varieties mature in mid-September. At this time, the rosehips are still solid and are well suited for further processing to mus and jam. Who wants to eat raw, should wait patiently ...
The rosehips taste raw only when a first frost period has moved over the plants. The frost makes the rosehips softer and sweeter. In this condition the fruits usually come from the end of October. Then they can be harvested until February.
Tips & Tricks
The longer the rose hips stick to the plant, the sweeter they become. But you should not wait too long. The fruits dry quickly.
