Hold a ladder while your spouse or child does the picking!
Dick
better still pay the lad down the road a pittance to do it for you.
I don't want to pick the while tree -- just 6-8 at a time. I picked
the whole tree one year and I couldn't eat them fast enough. Most went
bad. They stay on the tree nicely for at least a month, probably
closer to two. I don't want top haul the ladder out every 2-3 days.
The wire basket picker works more or less. I was hoping to get some
idea if the grabber variety or something else worked better.

Refrigerated Oranges last weeks for me.
(sigh) Yes, that will work up to however much space you want to
dedicate to that. So I can pick maybe 15-20 at a time.
Doesn't solve the problem and I'd rather have them fresh picked.

I cheat.
I have a 40 cubic ft. refrigerator... (a Hobart on the sun porch)
But alas, I have no orange tree. :-(
Tell you what, haul your frig over here. We'll pick the oranges
together (bring your ladder, too) and fill up the frig. I'll keep the
frig until the oranges are half gone and then you can take it away and
have the rest. Deal? :-)
lol Only if you want to move the damned thing for me! ;-D
You are getting free oranges.
