Will this pick blackberries?

We are in N. Idaho and use this picker for Huckleberries They are solid and some as large as your thumb, look a lot like Blueberries and similar in size. I would think this would work for blackberries if they were not to ripe as they do mush easy if over ripe. Hope this is helpful to you. Thanks for Asking me. Ireta in Cocolalla, Idaho

We use the smallest ( hole size) to make tomato juice but I can't see it working for raspberry seeds. We have a Victoria Squeezo with a berry screen that works great for berry seeds. Good luck.

I Haven't tried dried blackberries but it will do fine. I have tried other vines and works good

I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I was very disappointed in it. Not enough grab to pull or twist. Landed up getting what I should've. .. the Japanese picker. Was expensive but so worth it. Don't know how it would work on persimmons though. I use it for citrus. Hope this helps

Yes, but i do not recommend black berries because the seeds in them are horrible and very stoney. I stick with blueberries, seedless grapes, strawberries, raspberries, chia seeds, bananas, apples and tomatoes are all fine (even frozen). I enjoy my machine!

I'm not an expert fruit picker. We havnt even used our apple picker yet, excited to do so this fall. I peaches are picked the same way by twisting and pulling the. I would assume it would work. The basket has prongs at the top that u would align with the stem of the fruit and then twist to remove. Not sure that answers your question, but good luck!

Oh yes, it works amazing. I wondered the same thing. But low and behold the blackberries are gone!

I haven't tried any of the small seeded berries, but there are instructions in the 'recipe booklet' for steaming them. It should work as long as you don't mash the berries after or while they are cooking. (You aren't supposed to mash any of the fruit while it is in the steam...unless you are intentionally trying to get some of the pulp.)

This picks up any size of nut from an acorn to a walnut. It'll also pick up other things of similar size I'm sure.

Hi Bonita, there is a very fine sieve in the set of three, but I really don't think it's fine enough to sort out raspberry seeds. The food mill does a wonderful job pureeing fruit, but a triple layer fine mesh sieve might do better for seeded berries. I hope this helps. Cc

Yes I believe it will work. I haven't used it for that purpose but other plants with similar growth patterns.....the lateral growth of strawberries certainly takes more effort and just a little practice with this weeder.

Hello, It can pick and clean bird seeds. It cannot pick up shells from a peanut. Best Regards, Royal Blue Shipping Corp

Perhaps the smallest disc will do that. If not, suggest after running your raspberries through it, then run them through a cheese cloth. Hope that helps.

If they are still fairly hard it should be OK. The fruit gets banged around a little in the picking process, but there is a little foam pad that fits into the bottom of the basket, and that helps.

Deep tap roots could be a problem. I Have Arizona sandy adobe soil (caliche, hard as brick) and a lot of common mallow grew up. It handled up to a 4 Inch tap root on medium growth, but much longer than that it couldn't pull out. If you have a loamier soil, I think it would pull up most anything short of a shrub. What it is really good for, is pulling dandelions and crabgrass out of your lawn and garden. In a fairly well managed yard and garden, it can keep you off your knees, but if you have a real big job especially with hard rocky soil, you will still end up with shovel and or weed killer needed. I'm not sure what an autumn olive bush is, but if it is small enough to get the tongs over and the soil is soft enough, it might, but it is a weeding tool, you couldn't use it successfully on scrub oak higher than a foot tall if that or blackberries other than small individual still tender plants. Basically my answer is no, I don't think so. But there are some variables that could make it work: root type, soil type and size of plant.

I would say yes, if it will take out the big bull thistle here in TX I think it will remove strawberries

I pick up small fruits (cherry I think) that are about an inch give or take. I also use it to pick up a small apple, 2-2 1/2 inches. If the acorns are in this range, your good. If they are smaller than that, there is another smaller version of this same tool meant for nuts and whatnot.
