ABSTRACT:
A device for removing fruit from a plant comprising a vibratory head having means for clamping a fruit plant, and means for controlling the vibratory head, preferably an electronic control means. The vibratory head further comprises at least one reaction mass which is vibratably driveable and connected to the clamping means for relative movement therebetween to provide a unidirectional force transmittable between the reaction mass and the clamping means, and hence transmittable to the plant.
