Changes in harvested fruit include ripening as well as some deterioration in quality. Fruit quality at harvest determines storage and shelf life potential. Water loss through respiration is a significant issue, especially once fruit is removed from cold storage.The pears discussed here came from two control treatments, one root pruned (RP) and the other nonroot pruned (NP), that were harvested on the same day and part of a larger experiment carried out in the orchards at Aarhus University, Aarslev, Denmark. In addition some fruit from the non-root pruned treatment were harvested two weeks later (LNP). Changes in fruit quality from these three treatments were assessed.
