A picking system for cranberries or similar small berries carried on vines lying across the ground includes a plurality of tines arranged as an array across the picking system transverse to the direction of movement. The tines include a vertical portion, a curved section and a horizontal front portion projecting forwardly. The tines are reciprocated by a cam action behind the vertical portion. Each tine has a vertical slot along its center line through which passes a stationary blade with a hooked upper end so that the movement of the tine provides a scissors action with the stationary blade. A suction duct is positioned directly above the horizontal front portion to draw the collected berries vertically upwardly for collection. An air jet nozzle is positioned at the front of the suction duct with an air jet projecting downwardly and rearwardly to hold berries onto the horizontal portion.
