EVERSPROUT 4.5-to-12ft Durable Fruit Picker with 20+ Foot Reach – Telescoping Fruit Picker Pole, Lightweight Twist-On Fruit Picking Tool with Basket, Aluminium Extension Pole for Tree Fruit Harvesting

Have you ever tried to pick a small densely loaded dwarf apple tree? My dad had an old picker, but it was old with a wooden handle and the tines were breaking off. Often, it would damage the fruit trying to pull them down. I came across this picker and thought I would give it a try. I am so glad I did! This picker is sturdy and lightweight. It has two telescoping extensions that lock into place. You can custom adjust the height. Fully extended, balance is the key, but even fully extended, it works beautifully. This is the first year that I have been able to reach those apples on the tiniest of limbs at the very top of the tree. And the best part is, I didn’t have to use a ladder at all! The picker allowed me to pick in tight areas where the wasps had discovered the fruit and made quick work without getting stung. One note and recommendation for users, when you fully extend this picker, quickly upright it setting the base on the ground. Having it balanced then, you can move it with ease. After you pick your fruit, turn the pole to where the tines are facing up on the basket. Then when you lower it, your fruit doesn’t go flying out. Would I buy this again? You bet! Very well made and great product.

Finally!! A sturdy, well built fruit picker. This thing is great and easy to use. The telescoping pole makes it easy to reach the high fruit at the top of the tree.

Yay I can now reach those grapefruits!

Seems to be a great product, but arrived bent. It was just free floating in a box which caused the basket to bend. Seems like quality metal because it was very hard to reshape, but I was able to shape it with a mallet. Would be five stars if it was packed properly.

We have a peach tree that has grown so big and this year produced zillions of peaches......okay well a lot. They are well outside our reach but we wanted to be able to harvest them. This tool was just the answer. The length of it was perfect for either on the ground or on a ladder. Any longer and I think it you would loose control of the tool. It was very easy to use by reaching it up under over the fruit, getting the "claw" part over the peach and pulling down. It held many peaches before I had to bring it back down to empty it out. Our peaches are small. It really did not take long to learn to use nor to pick peaches. I will say that you have to keep tightening the basket on top back up as you use it. This is only because as you pick fruit and spin the unit while pulling on the fruit, it does loosen. Never did I have it loosen and fall off. It just got harder to pick the fruit with the basket turning.

This fruit picker came in two pieces and was easy to assemble, just screwing the basket to the pole. The pole extended easily and locked into position. Allowing me, a short person, to harvest fruit from the higher branches of my semi-dwarf apple trees. The removable, foam liner was a nice extra, preventing any bruising of the apples. I was even able to harvest 2-3 smaller apples at a time into the wire basket before bringing it back down to retrieve them.

Safely picks the fruit effortlessly. Removes the fruit with no bruising or damage. Very sturdy and the tines are spaced perfectly for our peaches, nectarines and apricots. Wish we'd purchased this sooner.

My neighbor lent me her fruit picker to get the last of the oranges off the top of our tree and I was sold on the concept, but felt like it would be weird to keep asking her to use hers every time I needed it. We have a lot of fruit trees! So based on what I liked (the padded basket) and what I didn't like about hers - (her basket was held on by a little plumbing type fastener that pulled off the end of the pole when it was in the top of the tree!), I looked around for my own and found Eversprout. Very easy to use locking snaps and the basket screws on the end so it's more secure. I love that you can buy additional functional ends - like a hook for my husband to hang the Christmas lights in the tree and even some cleaning and other gardening tools. My husband thinks I am quite the garden dork when it comes to stuff like this, so I will make sure to remind him it's good to be married to a geek when you want to borrow her tools ;-) It was also really nice to get a re-usable bag to carry out to the garden to put the literal "fruits of my labor" in so that I don't have to fill my pockets or carry a bunch of apples up to the house in my shirt - there's always more in the tree than you think! Now I can rest at ease as I watch our trees grow knowing I won't be falling out of a ladder to pick them.

Very nice equipment! Thank you!

Easy to use and very effective. Doesnt pull leaves.

We have many fruit trees. Picking the ripe fruit has become a problem as ladders are awkward for us; we are in our seventies. This tool is easy to work with and does a great job.

Works like a charm and attaches easily onto my pole. I can now finally reach those big, ripe and delicious apples instead of standing on my ladder trying to reach them or waiting for them to fall onto the ground. I highly recommend this quality product.

My main apple picker ( husband) really likes it. No more precarious balancing on a ladder.
