winter-storable fruits / off-season storable fruits

Explanation:
the talk here is obviously of fruit that can be stored longterm, in other words until the next harvest. Hence also the talk of summer and autumn fruits (whereas there is no mention of spring or winter fruits because no fruits are being harvested then). Apples more than anything else is really what it is all about.

Grading comment
