Now as to picking, it’s a good
practice to store the fruit in shade
as it’s picked, then allow it to stand
in the orchard overnight to cool.
Then, place the apples in storage
early in the morning before the
temperature rises too much.
If you leave apples in a packing
shed or in piles under the tree for
one week, you’ll shorten their
storage life by about five weeks.
So, keep apples cool, maintain
good air circulation during
storage, and your apples should
keep a long time.
