4 out of 5 stars Fantastic for Mangos!!!   June 16, 2010
jacqueline ralya (Hawaii)
I am about to buy my third fruit picker. Since my mangoes started bearing fruit in
2003, I have been using this fruit picker to pick hundreds of pounds of Hayden mango. The mango sap gets on the bag and stiffens it but no problem. For me, the picker lasts only 3 years before the plastic part breaks. I tried picking oranges but unless it is ready to drop, it does not work well. With all this spaceage plastic, there is no excuse not to make it stronger. I still use the original extendable pole purchased in 1994. I find the small rake and hoe very useful and durable.

I use the fruit picker on our apple trees. Works great as I can position the head at different angles to get the high fruit. I originally learned of the fruit picker from an article in the New York Times leasure magazin rating it as the best fruit picker.

The large teeth on the comb works grat to hook the fruit. I use with a WOLF Telescopic handle


1 out of 5 stars Not the best fruit picker design available   July 27, 2009

I have tried both the WOLF Garten and the Lawn & Garden fruit pickers (with L-shaped picking tines), and found pickers with the L-shaped tines much more efficient - especially with fruit which has to be twisted to release it from its stem.

Wolf Garten Picker helps prevent fallen fruit and some bruising.as well as becoming tangled in the branches of the trees causing more fruit to fall.The use of the entension handle adds to ones ability to reach higher branches for many women, easier to navigate through the tree. The bag is a deterant to retrieving the fruit from the ground.


1 out of 5 stars Good fruit picker in theory, but could use some design tweaks   February 19, 2009

I've used this fruit picker for a couple of years now and overall I'm disappointed with it. The frustration is that some minor design tweaks would make this a perfect tool. As is, it's ineffective on fruit that isn't ripe and ready to fall, and that just isn't practical even for a backyard grower like me who has just a few fruit trees. The problem I've encountered is that for fruit that's still connected to the tree a little more strongly, the straight tines force me to turn the unit so that the tines are nearly horizontal to the ground to get enough leverage to pull the fruit free. In that position the bag is no longer in place to catch the fruit so 9 times out of 10 the fruit bounces to the ground. That's not so horrible for citrus, but for stone fruit like apricots, that means bruising and splitting. If only the top tines were curved a little inward, it would make all the difference. But because the tine section is all plastic, I can't even tweak it myself to make it work because those tines would just snap off. Last year I gave up and went back to my old-fashioned picker with the metal basket and claw-shaped tines; for my smaller fruit I line the metal basket with thin bubble-wrap and just secure it with twist-ties, and it works like a charm. Because I'm frugal and absolutely hate it when I make a bad purchase, now and then I dust off this Wolf Garden fruit picker off and use it on the outside chance that I figure out a way to make it work, but so far no luck.
