At first glance, it may seem that there is no difference in when exactly to harvest the fruits of apple and pear trees.
However, in reality, harvesting should be done in the morning or evening.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh said that fallen apples and pears that have been left in the sun have a much shorter shelf life.
The expert also listed other aspects that gardeners should pay close attention to.
This is worth remembering.
For example, you shouldn’t pull out the stems from fruits, otherwise they will start to rot very quickly.
In particular, do not wipe the fruits. Let the natural protective wax remain on them, which will effectively protect them from spoilage and bacteria.
After collecting quality fruits, you should immediately start cleaning up the already rotten ones. It is recommended to throw them outside the site.
If this is not done, parasitic insects will find a home under them or inside them, which, having multiplied, will begin to attack your summer cottage.
