Knowing how to pick apples is key to harvesting quality fruit and avoiding causing any damage to them or the tree. Luckily, there is a simple technique you can use to pick apples impeccably every time.
I have picked lots of apples in my time. Every garden I worked in as a professional horticulturalist featured large numbers of apple trees. One garden had over 140 trees and 47 varieties of apples in one large orchard, while another had over a hundred espalier apple trees growing on arches and walls. In both cases, it meant a lot of time spent picking apples.
