- How To Make a Fruit Picker + Mango Harvest
G'Day Folks. We had a Patreon friend share the fruit picker that she & her husband made to harvest their mangoes. I was so impressed I decided to have a crack at one myself & think it could be used to harvest a number of different fruits. The design is so simple & can be made from items most of us have laying around the yard & recycle bin.
Many thanks to Kate for sharing the idea & hope it helps a load of you folks out there in CZcams land.
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming. 🐟 🌱🍅
Cheers all.

I've seen this bottle idea used in Turkey many years ago. They also had 600ml water bottle ones for walnuts. I thought it was very clever indeed
Amazing Thankyou for the idea
Genius idea!! My family and I just made this with a gallon milk jug and a paint roller extension pole. It worked perfectly! You saved us $50. Thank you!!
That is awesome Ana.
Cheers & happy harvesting.
thanks for the tip, I will make one for my avocados
Nice one Mike. 👍👍
I have a widget like that for apples. We use 4" PVC pipe and the apples roll down the tube so you don't have to empty it out after each time!
Love the picker, Thank You Rob.
Cheers Bella Donna. 😁👍
Good morning 🤩❤️
Thanks so much, worked beautifully for our mandarins during lockdown - considered getting a Bunnings fruit picker for $99 when I found this. Thanks a lot!! The mandarins do get their stem ripped out (so the inside gets exposed), so I'm only picking them as we eat them. Yummo!! The family loves the idea too. We used a 2L milk bottle, a free long 2M stick in the yard, and only 2 (bit rickety) screws, doing the job marvelously. The ones at the top taste the sweetest!!!
Thank You Very Very Much 🙏🏻
Glad it helped 😁
lovely day!
It's amazing wow sulve my problem about my tree is so high have more fruit to get the tree thanks this guide it's really good for me thanks and God bless you 🤩❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad it he helped you some Jannet.
Happy harvesting.
Super
Cheers Jeni. 👍
Excellent idea thank U V much for sharing with us
The DIY Mango and Fruit picker, that is so COOL, and its really versatile as well! Thanks Rob Bob, personally I have an infant Chocolate Pudding Fruit in the rears but my neighbor has a beautiful Palestine Sweet Lime tree and he also has a Creole Avocado(difference between the comercial Hass and this species, is the skin is really thin, black in some, green in others and its edible), usually he and I pick the fruit the ol' fashioned way, with a step ladder, but this DIY Fruit Picker is a must try with the sweet limes and the avocados, my neighbor and I thank you very much Rob Bob, for sharing that Aussie Ingenuity! :)
I love watching your mango harvest videos....yum :)
great growth year to year, im glad you stuck w/ the mangos they get better every year
Thats a great tool. Nice to share one or two with the bats.
Genuis
Very nice one i see in CZcams 👍
Thank you very much
So cool..tks
Cheers. 👍👍
Good..
I got best idea from you. I have two mango trees. The other one is approximately 45 feet and the other is less shorter. I will use the same method but I don't have electrical driller.
Tying it on with a bit of string or wire might do the job for you. 👍
Am glad the video helped some.
Lol the friut bat... nom nom nom nom 😂
That worked very well. Thanks for sharing :)
I'm so jealous of the beautiful mangoes, Rob! Very handy mango picker.
awesome. thanks for sharing
thats a good sice off mangos harvest you have there rob 👍
Excellent 👍
Cheers Enigma.
Top idea and a nicely put together vid Rob - several good tips there! Our bowen didn't produce anything this season so I'm glad someone's did lol...
Brilliant. Love knowledge sharing
شكرا للفكره
👍 على الرحب و السعة
(Google Translate)
Great video and quite entertaining I might add 👍👍 thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍
was really looking for how to make 12m lenghts of sticks, but this works too. i think
Well Good day to you sir
Same to you
If you hot glue a razor blade at an angle to the back of the stem slot it'll make it easier to release the fruit from the tree.
Just what i needed ! thanks!! Going to make one rn.
Hope it worked well for you NME.
@@RobsAquaponics Hey rob it worked , I used to to pick star apples from my yard!
wow such creativity ...nice,this will help me a lot
Hope you'll have a great harvest to use it on.
Cheers & happy growing RageFire.
Thanks it worked 👍
Nice one Dhana. 👍 Just finished taking the last of the mangoes off our tree on Saturday.
Cheers & enjoy your harvest.
I'd love to be able to grow mangoes down here in S Gippsland, the amount my wife and kids eat it would save us a fortune!!!
the south most i have seen them is woolongong in nsw, and thair sick,, there is a very big healthy one in mossman, sydney.
awesome job Rob !! thanks for sharing
My son used to date a lady from Guam. Flying foxes were one of her father's favorite tidbits for dinner. (I'll stick to hamburgers, thank you very much!)
😄 I've been told that they taste like chicken Jeanette.
Figs fella!! 😎
Would be a great picker for the figs. 👍
Cheers Brett. 👍👍
😊😊
great idea and nice fruit, can't grow the mango's over here so a bit jealous :)
but i will use the system for my apples, downsized offcourse
Mangoes
YUM 👍
I usted mined for mangoes
Fantastic, i stumbled on this video trying to figure out how would i pick avocados growing beyond our fence reaching to our neighbour. This tool will definitely serve the purpose, i'm going to make one now. Thanks for sharing this...
Hope it's working well for you. 😁👍
Great idea pal...I'll be making one for my avo's...
Tanks Man, ...tmj Brasilll
No Problem Willian.
Cheers mate & happy harvesting.
Ro1b.i use a hose clamp on a picker like the one you made
Awesome mangoes Rob.. how have you been doing? Still love your videos my friend!!
Rick
Still playing catch up like always Rick. 😄😉
Hope you & yours are doing well mate.
Cheers.
i could see this instrument working on the carambolas, just add some padding to minimise bruising.
I don't think this will work for my avocados but cool idea.
I love your videos, Rob. I was wondering if you know anything about Jeff and Wilma's long absence. I am very worried for them.
Hi peelmeone. I'm not sure sorry. Have you tried reaching them through their clips?
I am watching from Trinidad and Tobago. What size pvc pipe did you use for the rod?
I think it was a 1¼ or 1½" (32 / 40mm) pipe Glen.
Wish I had of seen that last week before a mango hit me in the face from 9 foot in the air... lucky no fractures just black eyes and swelling.
OUCH Marissa. Hope it heeled up fast.
Can you pick avocado pears with this also
I would think so. 👍
The handle appears to be about 3 m long. But you don’t say how long it is.
You could make it as long as it needs to be for your trees. 👍
Cheers.
Hoping this works for apples and pears.... U think?
It should work fine for most fruits BF. 👍🙂
@@RobsAquaponics thank u so much!
i had no idea you pick mangos green.
I wait for the blush to start as that's when they are just turning & are susceptible to fly strike Shane. We also eat the green in salads as well.
Cheers mate.
@@RobsAquaponics being a southerner, we have have no idea.
@@Shane_O.5158 We'll forgive you. 😉
Cheers mate
Ever tried Mango tree in AP?
Could be done with a dwarf but my system isn't large enough for a tree that size.
Cheers.
