“I especially like that it cuts the fruit stem. Most of the other pickers break the fruit away by pulling.”

The Design

Four Parts, One Squeeze

Telescopic Fruit Picker diagram: canvas bag at the head, second grip partway up, handgrip at the base, 10-foot reach

The Cutter

A blade at the head snips the stem, so the fruit is cut free and the branch is not yanked.

The Handgrip

The red grip at the bottom of the pole works the cutter at the top. One squeeze per stem.

The Canvas Bag

Hangs just below the cutter and holds about ten apples. It comes off for emptying and washing.

The Pole

Telescopes to 10 feet, with a second grip partway up for steadying it with both hands.

Cut and Catch Fruit Without a Ladder

The Harvest

Feet on the Ground, Fruit in the Bag

With a reach of 10 feet, there are very few places on a fruit tree this picker can’t get to from the ground. Set the pole to the branch, hook the stem in the cutter, squeeze, and move to the next one.

Where it struggles: dense, twiggy canopies, where the bag catches before it reaches the fruit, and short-stemmed fruit like figs and persimmons. At full extension it is a two-handed tool, which is what the second grip is for. Whether you have one or two trees or a small orchard, it is a fine and useful piece of gear.

Common Questions

Before You Buy

The pole telescopes to 10 feet, so with your own height and reach most backyard fruit trees are in range from the ground. A very tall tree may keep a few at the top.

Fruit that hangs on open limbs with a stem the cutter can catch: apples, pears, oranges, lemons, avocados and peaches. Figs and persimmons have short stems and are harder, and the bag can snag in dense branches.

Hook the stem in the cutter at the top of the pole and squeeze the red handgrip at the bottom. The blade snips the stem and the fruit drops into the canvas bag below it.

Yes. Take it off to empty it, wash it, or work in a tight spot.

Ten Feet of Reach. A Bag for Ten Apples.

I love your fruit picker

"I love your fruit picker I use it for avocados and it really couldn’t be any easier the catch bag allows for picking 3 or 4 pices at a time with no chance of damaging the fruit or it falling and breaking on the ground It is also really well constructed and feels like it will last for many many years to come"

— Brian A. (5/5)

Excellent tool!

"I have a very tall persimmon tree and it is full of fruit. This gadget was the solution for my problem! It is a bit heavy or I am probably a bit old to work with it. But I solve the problem by just emptying the bacg every few minutes! It is well worth the money I spent for it!"

— Pari N. (5/5)

Just the thing!!

"I am very happy with the fruit picker. I knew what I wanted and this was the only one I could find. I was impressed with the quality of it. I was concerned that it would be flimsy aluminum like so many tools I have bought online but it is sturdy and well made. I hope to use it for many years to come. Thank you!!"

Q&A

Do you sell a replacement bag for this fruit picker?
Becky, mailed today USPS. John
Will this work for hayachi persimmons?
Ann, we havent tried it with persimmons. Their stems may be a bit thick for this tool. It works great with apples plums etc . Fruit with small stems. Thankyou.
Hi! Does the tool compact down for shipping? I want to bring it with me in my suitcase to Costa Rica. How short can it get? Thank you
Christy, the shortest length of the tool is 69". Thank you.
Hi - what is the total weight of the 11G12.18 Telescopic Fruit Picker? Also, what are the dimensions of the bag? Thanks! --Dan
Daniel, it weighs 2.8 lbs. The bag is 10" deep and 12" wide approx. Thank you.
What size and thread pitch are the wing nuts on the telescoping fruit picker basket assembly? I'm going to buy a handful from the hardware store as spares. I was so engrossed at picking I didn't notice untill too late that one unscrewed and fell off! By the way, it is a great tool!!!
Pat, the diameter is 3/16" but I'm not sure of the thread pitch. Glad you like the tool!. Thank you
