Orchard ladders are far easier and safer than stepladders, but they are
expensive.

That twister picker looks great, but I have never tried it.

Well, we used to pick cherries at a local orchard using ladders. :-)
They just put up about 6 per tree, and moved them as needed.

They never had more than a dozen or so people in the orchard at any one
time.

U-pic cherries.

Gods that holds some good memories! sigh
