Will this picker work for persimmons that are slightly soft?

I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I was very disappointed in it. Not enough grab to pull or twist. Landed up getting what I should've. .. the Japanese picker. Was expensive but so worth it. Don't know how it would work on persimmons though. I use it for citrus. Hope this helps

There is a tension that may bruise it but a friend modified his with a soft foam tube (unsure where he got it) that cushioned and improved the hold. There is also an attachable bar included so I can see you padding this to cushion the delicate fruit.I use it to pick papayas and usually have no problems but have bruised a few overripe ones.

The pecans That I used it to pick up were small to medium. They have one for larger nuts as well.

I think persimmons are too tough for this. This is more for a softer fleshed fruit - like de-seeding tomatoes for one usage.

We actually have a fig tree in our yard and we pick them by hand. Fig (ripen) is too delicate for any fruit picker unless you are the hardly mission fig. For other more hardy fruits, this is a very good tool.

By putting a longer pull cord on the pciker it should work. However, depending upon what you are picking, the leverage factor may make it difficult to control once the fruit is picked. I use ours for grapefruit which are fairly large and at 15' extension the fruit is a little hard to control on the way down.

Yes, it works, I use a 24ft extendable pole myself, but I replaced the rope with similar diameter and extended the length to match the pole length when fully extended. Picker works well without damaging fruits and plums or causing un-ripened fruit to be accidentally picked or knocked of.

As long as it has a standard threaded end on it and you add to the cord it will work. The picker is made od glass reinforced nylon so strength is not an issue.

It has been a while since I have picked peaches but I do believe it should work. My only hesitation is if peaches are really really ripe, will the wire prongs to pull them off tree bruise them. For the price and quality I think it is worth your ordering. I know the basket has foam in bottom to help elim bruising as it falls and you could certainly add more cushioning there as well as pick one at a time so not to hit each other in basket and bruise that way. But, not sure if prongs which are coated with rubber will damage. Sorry I can't be of more help. good luck. I would try it.

this is the same reason I am shopping for one. did you buy this and process persimmons or did you buy another product?

I would not know, if that is a good idea. We have an apple picker with a little sack at the top. The rim of the sack is metal, has a slit for catching the apple stem and pick it.

It's a citrus squeezer not specific for any one fruit. I use it for squeezing lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit.

I would think so because it does a great job of picking up our miniature pecans. Very pleased with our Nut Wizard!

Yes. I used it for picking up small and large pecans from the yard. it works well by either rolling over the ground or by gently dropping it on the nut to pick it up.

I am pretty positive it will work on even smaller rocks maybe 1/4" and 1/2". The only problem I see is for the item to work is the ground needs to be firm or you will just push the rock deeper into the soil. Picking up pecans the ground is hard packed and the nuts press in very easy. Hope this helps

I would think that tomatoes would be somewhat thin skinned, but the picker would do the job. I have had oranges where the skin was pierced..

Medium thickness yes. If they are smaller than a normal pick size it may be difficult.
