However, in production, the fruits need to undergo transportation, sales, and storage before consumption. If not eaten immediately, it is advisable to harvest early, as the fruits will enter the late fragrant ripeness stage within 2-3 days after the skin turns completely red. Fruits in the late fragrant ripeness stage will lose their freshness and crispness, leading to a decline in quality. Therefore, it is recommended to harvest Zhanhua winter quinces during the reddening to semi-red stage, typically in early to mid-October. Harvest one batch at a time. 3.1.2 Harvest Methods Manual harvesting is recommended, following the principles of "light picking, gentle placing, avoiding squeezing, dropping, and maintaining fruit integrity." When harvesting, avoid pulling the fruits
