z 1 = 5 cm wide X 6 cm deep, 2 = 6 cm wide X 11 cm deep

y Environmental conditions Aug.16 - Sept. 29, 2000:
LE = exposure to ambient light and temp. conditions at Redding, Calif. (41.3° N, elev 150 m);
HE = exposure to ambient conditions at Macdoel, Calif. (41.8° N, elev 1,200 m)

w subjective fruit appearance score: 1 = poor, 5 = excellent

v mean separation within columns by Tukey's mean separation, P < 0.05; different letters indicate significant differences among treatments, ns indicates no significant difference
