Fruit picker WOLF-Garten RG-M jointed fruit picker with articulated head, long-reach hand tool

WOLF-Garten RG-M jointed fruit picker with articulated head, long-reach hand tool is a handheld garden tool designed to harvest tree fruit from the ground. The picker has a jointed, angled head that enables access to fruit that would otherwise require climbing. A flexible rounded picking cup and integrated harvesting blade detach fruit cleanly and hold it in the collection cup, allowing safe removal from heights when used with a suitable long handle.

Advantages

The articulated head allows angled approach to fruit on the outer canopy without damaging branches. The flexible rounded picking cup cushions fruit during detachment to reduce bruising and scratches. The integrated harvesting blade severs stems reliably while the collection mechanism holds fruit securely until lowered to the ground. The long-reach capability increases safety by reducing the need for ladders when combined with a compatible extendable handle.

Suitable for

• Picking apples and pears in home orchards
• Harvesting fruit from tall shrubs and small trees
• Collecting delicate fruit where minimal bruising is required
• Garden maintenance tasks where safe, ground-based access is preferred

Key specifications

• Articulated (jointed) head for angled access to fruit
• Flexible rounded picking cup to cushion fruit
• Integrated harvesting blade to sever stems cleanly
• Long-reach design compatible with extendable handles
• Handheld operation for precise positioning and control

How to use

Position the articulated head around the fruit so the rounded cup supports the fruit beneath it. Apply a gentle pull or operate the small harvesting mechanism so the integrated blade severs the stem; the fruit will fall into the collection cup. Lower the picker carefully and retrieve the fruit from the cup. If using an extendable handle, ensure the handle is securely attached to the picker head and locked at the desired length before working at height.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the picking cup and blade before each use and keep the blade clean to ensure reliable cutting. Use slow, controlled movements when working at full reach and avoid sudden jerks that could dislodge other fruit or stress branches. For safer operation at greater heights, pair the RG-M head with a compatible Vario or extendable handle and work from stable ground.
