We moved onto ten acres this past month. We inherited two very old apple trees. I was hoping to get out this weekend and pick apples to turn into apple butter and all sorts of other yummies. I wasn't sure how I was going to get the apples out of those tall trees! One tree decided to come to me. We got three and a half 5 gallon buckets of apples from this branch alone and there are still apples on it! It was just way too hot to be outside picking anymore. Maybe in the morning! target="_blank">

Nice trees to have. I’m thinking I have seen some sort of extension pole/picker to use on taller trees.

We just planted dwarf varieties, so that we wouldn’t have to worry about the treels being too tall.

You need a fruit picker. Just buy the basket as you must have a pole in the garage or shed…
