The most common method to take coconuts from a tree involves using a harvesting pole with a blade attached to cut the coconuts down.
Here's a breakdown of how to harvest coconuts:
-
Using a Harvesting Pole:
-
Description: This is a common and relatively safe method. A harvesting pole is typically a long bamboo shaft (25-30 feet) with a curved blade attached to the end.
-
How it Works: The harvester stands on the ground and uses the blade at the end of the pole to cut the coconut stem, allowing the coconut to fall.
-
Safety: Ensure the area below the tree is clear of people and objects before cutting.
-
It's important to remember that harvesting coconuts can be dangerous, and it's crucial to prioritize safety.
