Could I pick figs off of my tree with this? They are soft, so it would have to have a delicate enough touch to not pop them!

I'm sorry. I have never "met" any figs except the dried kind. I would think that, if you are able to encircle it gently with the grabber, it would be okay if the fig is soft like a ripe peach. If the skin is "stretched tight" like on a plum, it might pop it.

I think you would be better off finding on that had what looks like cups on the end. This reacher almost has points on it and would probably damage your fruit. Good luck

I wouldn't. .. This is low quality plastic. ..I'd be worried that it would pop

Yes....i'm sure picking Avacado's would be fine with the Flexrake. There is a small "cushion" the bottom, I left it there so the fruit will be ok.

Yes peaches... That's what I used it for. You might have to push one of them in a tiny bit... I think the pink one has tiny feet. But mine did fine. Not one of mine fell. Good luck!

No, these are very delicate and wouldn't hold up well getting wrapped around a tree. You have to be so careful when you unwind them or they will break. I am going to hang them from my trees so that they drape down.

Not sure. It has rounded hooks on one side that allow you to break the stem on the tree from the fruit. In my case oranges. Not sure if it would tear the skin on plums.

Yes, it's big enough to grab them, but our papayas tend to be too heavy for it to hold them. We sort of grab/push/pull the fruit with the picker and have someone else standing under to try and catch them on the way down!

I don't actually have nuts in my yard, nor do I have much familiarity with how big most nuts are, right off the tree, except for walnuts. I think it would pick up walnuts without any difficulty. The Sweet Gum tree balls are about an inch in diameter, and the pine cones it picked up were about an inch in diameter and about 3 inches long.

I pick figs all the time, works well. I don't even use the attachment for smaller fruit.

Might work for some fruit but not so sure the LEM will properly grind dried figs.

We have a shibaino breed, small dog, with the fixture at 8 feet it does not pick the figs movement. I guess it would be a matter of height...

It has been a while since I have picked peaches but I do believe it should work. My only hesitation is if peaches are really really ripe, will the wire prongs to pull them off tree bruise them. For the price and quality I think it is worth your ordering. I know the basket has foam in bottom to help elim bruising as it falls and you could certainly add more cushioning there as well as pick one at a time so not to hit each other in basket and bruise that way. But, not sure if prongs which are coated with rubber will damage. Sorry I can't be of more help. good luck. I would try it.

I have found that mice really like to chew up the lower portions of the wrap to build their nests. They don't bother my young maple trees, but if you had fruit trees wrapped, I think you would have trouble with girdling.

It won't work well unless you cut off the narrower part of the pear before you put it on the prongs. Apples work well because they are round.

I cannot think of a fruit large enough to work. I suppose they would cut soft fruit with the density of play dough or less.

They are granules that you would sprinkle at the base of the fruit trees so it would not affect the fruit at all.

Yes, you have to apply some pressure. It also depends on how ripe the fruit is.
