apple picker

Fruit tree harvester

An apple picker is a person who harvests apples, typically as seasonal agricultural labor.

The term also refers to a long-handled tool with a basket or claw at the end, used to reach fruit on high branches without climbing: I borrowed an apple picker to get the ones at the top of the tree.
