Title: My special tool !
Post by: Bannerdown on September 03, 2004, 11:48:30
Here is the tool with which I get the best elderberries (as well as crab apples).  No patent so cobble one up.  Cheers, Tony. ;D

Do you get funny looks from people who see you carrying that? If my grandchildren saw you, they would have to make some comment about it.
Glad it works for you tho'.

Looks pretty good -certainly beats walking around with a free-standing ladder! Hmmm -I've got a long handled pruner and I'm sure there's a defunct shrimping net in the beach hut................

Just wish I could get ours to fruit lower though -all the branches that do stick out of the hedge don't fruit. Maybe elderberries fruit on 2-yesr old wood?

Oooh clever idea! I'm going to make one for picking those pears at the top of my pear tree which I can't reach. Until now hubby cuts and I run around the bottom of the tree trying to catch, 90% of the time they hit the deck!
