<p>Simple fruit picker for citrus, great for reaching fruit high in the tree when all the low hanging fruit is gone. Attaches to a standard pool cleaning pole and uses a typical American 2 liter soda bottle.</p> <p>Hope you find it useful. Please consider posting a picture if you use it.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Simple fruit picker for citrus, great for reaching fruit high in the tree when all the low hanging fruit is gone.
