A fruit harvester of the tree-combing type in which the tines are movable relative to one another to clear obstructions in the tree. A rotatable helix, positioned over the rear portion of the tines, cooperates with branch-holding devices carried by the tines to gently separate the fruit from the branches. The tines are tapered along their lengths to present small frontal cross-sections and thereby facilitate insertion into the tree crown.
