ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for picking fruit from trees which takes the form of an elongated member which has a cutting blade arrangement at the upper end of the member and a handle structure at the lower end of the member for activating the cutting blade. Once the stem of the fruit has been severed, the fruit passes into a guide tube and hence into a flexible guide chute prior to being deposited into a container. The cutting blade assembly could take the form of a scissors type arrangement or could take the form of a rotating cylinder which passes over a fixed cutting blade with the fruit having been initially located within the cylinder.
