A method and a system (1) for collection of harvested tree-fruit has a collection device (26) mounted on a hauled cart (C). For fruit collection, two arms (FA, RA) are extended under the foliage of a tree (T), to spread an apron hung between them, in a fruit receiving position (27). After harvesting is completed, and the apron (A) contains the harvested fruit, the arms draw the apron from under the tree and swing to stop in a fruit discharge position (51), where fruit is discharged by gravity into the open top opening (OP) of the cart C. Then, the arms are returned from the discharge position to the fruit receiving position (27). |
