Description
The Original Fruit Collector is the world’s handiest apple collector: it collects the windfalls and makes harvesting easier. It also works when you are not there. Harvesting cannot get easier than this!
Windfalls and ripe fruit fall gently on the Fruit Collector and are safe from dirt, worms and other crawling bugs until you have the time to collect them. When harvesting, it is easy to shake the fruit on it from the top branches.
The fabric is durable polyester fiber and the metal parts are rust protected. The fabric lets the rain and wind through and you can even wash it in a washing machine (below 40 degrees C).
Instructions
The Original Fruit Collector is easy to assemble and place even alone. It can be done in few minutes. Fruit Collector is tied with a rope to the tree trunk about half a meter high and fastened with 8 metal sticks steadily to the ground. This way, the apples roll softly on the sides of the collector. The packaging includes more detailed instructions.
Fruit Collector can be also placed on hillside as the edges keep the fruit inside the collector. When placing the collector, an extra pole can be used instead of the tree trunk, so the collector can be placed directly below the fruitiest branches. This way it is exactly in the right place. (The extra pole is not included in the package, but you can make one easily, any steady stick will do.) When setting up, you can use your imagination and tie the Fruit Collector partly, for example, on a fence.
Currently available models
Model FC 250 is 2.5×2.5 meters and is best suited for young, semi-dwarf or compact trees. The trunk thickness can be 20 cm or more as it is tied on the trunk with a rope and velcro tape and it does not matter if the center is a bit open with a thicker trunk.
Perfect solution for very big trees is to assemble 2-4 FC250’s around the tree using extra poles.
FC250 also available as an affordable 3-pack! Order three at once and save!
Model FC 260 is a bit bigger and for a thicker trunk. It is 2.6 x 2.6 meters and the truck thickness can be even 30 cm or more. By tightening it, it can be used for thinner trunks as well. The sticks are a bit longer than in FC250, so it can be placed on a steeper hillside.
Model FC 268 is the same as above, except the size is 2.6 x 2.8 meters, so it can be placed in various ways depending on the reach of the branches.
Model FC328 is 3.2×2.8 meters and is best suited for medium-big trees. The trunk thickness can be over 30 cm.
