Abstract

See full text

A tree fruit or nut harvesting apparatus includes first and second sheets. A pair of clamps is provided for each tree and traps overlapped side edges of the first and second sheets adjacent an upper end of a tree trunk. Opposite side edges of the first and second sheets are disposed at a downward and outward acute angle to the tree trunk to form the first and second sheets in an inverted V-shape. The side edges of the first and second sheets opposite from the tree trunk form collection trays. Each clamp may be coupled by a tape to tree branches. An intermediate support using the first and second overlapped clamps members is supported by tapes or ties to tree branches or on a ground mounted stake supporting an intermediate location of the first and second sheets between two adjacent trees.
