What happened

Fall is approaching, and that means it’s apple season across Colorado.

Why it matters

The state's apple harvest season runs from mid-August through mid-October, with storage lasting through June of the next year, according to Colorado State University.

Common ground

“Having apple orchards located in both the Eastern and Western parts of the state, Coloradans have access to apples and apple products at a variety of locations and markets,” CSU said on its website.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
