What size orchard ladder for B.118 trees?

Try one of these and stay on the ground!

Thanks for the tip! Already have a Eversprout pole picker.

My limited understanding is the claw picker can damage the fruit spurs which has an impact on next year's fruiting capability.
As well as more bruised fruit from ruffer handling.

Leading to most commercial growers hand picking with ladders.

Using more of a lifting motion creates a clean break between stem an spur. As opposed to ripping the apple off the stem in a downward motion and having the the apple fall into a metal basket.

I used it last year and it worked great. I didn’t pick a ton of apples but enough for a couple batches of sauce. There is a foam insert in the bottom to prevent bruising. If you are picking lots of apples ladder would be better.
