RE: Build A Fruit Picker For Next to Nothing!
This is right up my alley. We are planning an orchard and I wanted an apple picker too! Thanks.

Thanks @canadianrenegade! You'll want to check out my most recent post. Doing an orchard you'll want to learn to graft trees! Yes it takes a few years longer, but it's FASTER in the long run. If that makes sense?

Oh yeah! I've been researching grafting too. Makes a lot of sense. 😀
I think the key for you will be to find some local orchards who might be willing to share some scion clippings from their trees. That way you are getting cultivars that are already proven for your climate.
That is definitely on our list too!
