All I know is that Brambly are bugger to pick. Huge high trees and
really large fruit, so that you have to run up and down the ladder a lot
:~(

Yes, if you let them run away with you. Our trees (when I was an
anklebiter) were no more than fifteen feet, with a trunk diameter of
around twelve inches at the bases.
We used to run up and down them in plimsolls.

These were not my trees........I used to work in the orchards in Kent back in
the 70's :~)
Enormous wooden ladders, canvas backbags, did my shoulder in :~(

Sure they weren't hops? :-)

Did that too, but with a tractor. I was driver :~))
