Which fruit 🍓🍑? With both fruits and vegetables is important to understand if they need to be in the refrigerator on the counter in a paper bag protected from the Sun etc. Things like strawberries, blackberries, blueberries would be kept in the fridge kept dry and not washed until used. Bananas should not be refrigerated because the skins will turn black and they will stop ripening. Do not keep bananas onions and potatoes together also avoid keeping avocados and bananas together because the gases released will cause them to override them. Avoid refrigerating tomatoes because it reduces their flavor. You can stop the ripening processes of several fruits such as Pitt fruits, avocados, and bananas if you must by putting them in the refrigerator although the last one is not recommended. When fruits get too ripe here are a few different options you make mash them and freeze them for later use a smoothies or other recipe things, cook them as a jam or compote, or bake them into breads.. 

I put strawberries, blueberries, blackberries & occasionally raspberries in mason jars in the fridge. Don't wash them. They must be dry, so sort thru them & remove any soft berries or dry any with moisture on a paper towel. I buy pears by the bag & put a few on the counter in a fruit bowl (refrigerate the rest) & eat them as they ripen. Peaches, in season also ripen in the fruit bowl. Apples, oranges, grapes, pomegranate (after I'm sure it's ripe) are refrigerated. Bananas in the fruit bowl. We go thru a lot of fruit, since we eat a combination of cut up fruit daily for breakfast.
