Excerpt from Picking Maturity of Apples
Many factors determine the best' time to harvest an apple cr0p. Each variety presents an individual problem. The importance of the factors involved in establishing indexes of maturity will depend on the variety but may vary within a variety, with different cultural and climatic conditions. In the case of all varieties, however, the fruit increases in size as long as it remains attached to the tree.
From this standpoint it is desirable to leave the fruit on the tree as long as dropping does not equal or exceed the volume increase. However, picking should be completed by the time the loss due to dropping equals the gain due to volume increase. Since the time when dropping is likely to become excessive cannot be predicted, picking should start while the fruit is still adhering well.
