AB [EN] Summer pruning reduces vegetative growth in apple trees, but it could have an impacton fruit quality. This study analyzed the effects of summer pruning as an eco-friendly pre-harvestalternative to chemical growth regulation inputs on instrumental and sensory quality of highlyvigorous apple cv. ‘Reinette du Canada’, which has been awarded with a Protected Designation ofOrigin label in two environments. The results showed that summer pruning affected the mineralcontent of the fruit. Summer pruning reduced bitter pit, but it did not negatively affect fruit weightnor any other instrumental characteristic during storage. Moreover, sensory quality or degree ofliking were not affected by summer pruning. Thus, summer pruning could be an eco-friendlypre-harvest alternative to chemical treatments to improve quality in global terms of ‘Reinette duCanada’ apple cultivar, regardless of the location. This technique contributed to the decrease of bitterpit incidence, but did not decrease sensory quality nor degree of liking
