Abstract

ABSTRACT A pendulum type of impulse trunk shaker was com-pared to an inertial trunk shaker for harvesting semi-vigorous open-center and central-leader Mcintosh apple trees. The open-center tree structure resulted in significantly less apple damage than central-leader trees. The impulse trunk shaker resulted in more apple damage than the inertial trunk shaker.
