"Adams et al. (2001) found that fruit size was largest at 18 °C and declined as temperature increased, because the effect of shorter fruit growth duration dominated the effect of a higher optimum temperature for fruit growth rate. ..De Koning (1996), likewise, found largest fruits at 17 °C, decreasing to 23 °C." 17C = 63 F."

Really? Biggest fruit at 63F? Do the grow-for-size people know this, or concur with this?
