This study presents a cross-generation benchmark of Ultralytics YOLOv8, YOLOv11, and YOLOv26 for detecting and segmenting apple fruitlet, calyx, and peduncle structures for robotic orchard perception. Five model scales (n, s, m, l, and x) were evaluated under conventional 640 x 640 and small-object focused 960 x 960 training configurations, yielding 30 experiments. Increasing model capacity did not consistently improve accuracy. YOLOv11s-960 achieved the highest observed mask mAP@50:95 (0.402) and box mAP@50:95 (0.426), while YOLOv26s-960 achieved comparable values of 0.397 and 0.425 with only 10.37 M parameters and 34.1 GFLOPs. Peduncle remained the most challenging class. Overall, compact-to-moderate YOLO models with small-object-focused training provided favorable accuracy efficiency trade-offs, establishing a practical benchmark for fine-grained agricultural robotics and orchard perception.
