ABSTRACT:
A fruit picker is disclosed which grasps the fruit by vacuum and then rotates the fruit to sever it from the tree. The vacuum is then broken and the fruit falls by gravity toward the ground from a location inside the periphery of the tree. Because the fruit impacts tree limbs during its descent toward the ground, its rate of descent is surprisingly slow. A net may be placed around the tree near ground level for receiving and collecting the fruit.
