Apples picked at the correct time of maturity ripen and develop the full flavour and aroma of that particular. Unbruised, well-coloured large fruit of this quality is in high demand and will return high prices. Picking techniques to teach is the "rolling method". Using this method the apple is gently turned upside down on the stork. If the fruit is ready to pick it usually separates easily without disturbing other apples. With a hard to pick the thumb or another finger is often placed between the apple stem and the spur as the apple is rolled upwards. Set all apples carefully in the picking container. Do not drop the fruit. Fruit hitting other fruit, or hitting the side of the container, causes bruising. Handle apples like you would eggs. People with large hands and long fingers may eventually be able to remove two apples at a time per hand. Do not encourage this practice until they master picking individual fruits bruise-free. A bruise on an apple is not immediately evident after the bruise is made. It may take as long as one day before the total effect and severity can be seen. To assess the amount of bruising caused at harvest by the picking crew, leave a bin undisturbed exactly where it was filled. Come back in one day and carefully inspect the fruit one layer at a time. If there is a problem, it will be evident then.
