Great question about fruit storage and fortunately I posted about it a few years ago.

Pick your pears at the perfect time

Picking pears at the perfect time has been discussed many times before on here. I found a couple of great articles while I was researching my own Bartlett harvest. Bartlett are very high quality pears when ripened correctly but can be grainy and coarse. I want to make sure i get the best out of the crop so a little additional research is just 15 minutes well spent. Here are the articles http://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/node/413 & https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/sites/catalog/…

What's too cold to store apples, 30-32F?

In Clark’s recent post about storing pears there was this link https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/sites/catalog/files/project/pdf/fs147.pdf that recommended 30-32F as ideal pear storage temperature. Do you think that’s too cold for apples?
