OK, OK — most of us probably don't have apple trees in the back yard. (Although we wish we did.) But if you do, or if you're a weekend warrior at the U-pick apple orchards, this little tool might come in handy. It helps you pick fruit off high branches without resorting to a dangerous, wobbly ladder. Stick this on a broom handle, and get fruit off the higher branches with ease.

Wow. What a brilliant idea.
If someone doesn't have it yet, and they have tall fruit trees, this tool makes a terrific gift simply because it makes harvest SO much easier. It quickly becomes your favorite garden tool but, because most of these cost upwards of $30 (and this one probably will with shipping), most gardeners never treat themselves to one (but they or someone who loves them should!).
Yup, these things are awesome. My mum bought one this year for her plum and apple trees. At first I thought it was gimmicky, but then I tried it. Very easy to use and quick. Highly recommended.
