Please allow me to pick your collective brains.

I had no real problem figuring out when to pick and eat the early and 
mid-season apples, like Lodi, MonArk, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, etc., and 
I picked the last 10 gallons of Stayman Winesaps last weekend and put 
them into the fridge in the barn while they were at their peak.
But, now my question is...on the really late season apples, like 
Arkansas Black and Old-fashion Limbertwig(Black Limbertwig?), how 
long do you leave them on the tree, and at what ambient temperature 
will they be damaged?
I'm located about 70 miles NW of Nashville TN.

Thanks,
