Does fruit last longer in the fridge or...

I was thinking that a basket on my counter would be cute, and help me add in more fruit each day.  But I don't think that it is going to keep as long as in the fridge. Anyone know if it would work

fridge.  especially in the summer, fruit goes bad really quickly when its on the counter.  I put all my fruit in the fridge and apples stay very crisp while out on the counter, they become mushy and rotten.  just with bananas, mak sure hey ripen before you put them in the fridge

thanks, i was just wishful thinking

Pears are a great fruit for on the counter, as long as you don't get too many at once.  Since they are perfect only for a couple of days having them out means they ripen nicely and you actually see them when they are at the perfectly ripe stage instead of finding them too late in the back of the fridge (okay, this is what happens to me...)
