Delivery charges apply
Heavy-duty professional picking bag designed to maximise comfort, fruit protection, and harvesting efficiency for apples and other high-value fruit.
Large 1.2 bushel apple picking bucket with padded lumbar harness and deep exit chute for professional harvesting.
The Coppins Large Apple Bucket is a premium picking bag engineered for professional fruit harvesting where comfort, durability, and fruit protection are critical. Designed with a contoured padded bucket and an advanced lumbar harness system, this bag transfers weight away from the shoulders and onto the lower back, significantly reducing fatigue during long harvesting sessions.
The bucket features a reinforced structure with hardened steel frames at the top and bottom, supported by a thick high-density foam inner shell to protect fruit from bruising. The interior is lined with tough waterproof polyester, ensuring durability and easy cleaning in demanding orchard conditions. A deep, fully lined exit chute secured with a rope and hardened steel hook allows smooth and controlled transfer of fruit into bins or crates.
Lightweight yet robust, the Coppins Large Apple Bucket is suitable for apples and other high-value fruit where gentle handling and operator comfort are essential.
Where this product is used
This picking bucket is used in orchards and commercial fruit farms for harvesting apples, kiwifruit, pears, and similar fruit. It is ideal for professional pickers who require a high-capacity bag with maximum comfort and fruit protection.

A successful Grove Management Plan must cover these key areas:
"A grove without an effective irrigation system is unlikely to deliver consistent yields year after year. Many growers still underestimate the water needs of olive trees, and few actually monitor soil moisture levels. This is why so many groves have never achieved a commercial crop." Marcelo Berlanda Specialist Olive Consultant
Water stress negatively affects flowering, fruit set, oil accumulation (oil production), fruit size (table olives), fruit quality, and overall tree health. However, many growers lack a proper system to monitor soil moisture or manage irrigation effectively.
Marcelo recommends:
"Growers should inspect soil moisture weekly during spring and summer, and every two weeks in autumn and winter. Use a shovel to dig at least 400mm under the tree canopy to check moisture. If the soil is hard to dig, it’s too dry – even if the canopy shows no visible signs of stress."
Advanced soil moisture monitoring tools can also provide reliable data on a digital display or computer dashboard.
For optimal grove health, growers must consistently check soil moisture and prevent water stress.
As discussed previously, taking leaf samples is essential to assess your trees’ nutritional status. This information guides the creation of a fertiliser program, a critical component for boosting or maintaining yields.
Typically, no fertiliser is needed in winter, unless you’re addressing soil amendments. However, some groves have severe nutrient deficiencies requiring fertiliser even in winter. Where proper irrigation systems aren’t in place, growers must broadcast fertiliser before rain to allow rainfall to incorporate nutrients into the soil profile, an inefficient use of resources but often the only option.
When applying fertiliser in these conditions, target the area beneath the canopy and, if possible, cultivate the soil to improve incorporation and reduce product loss.
Olives need four essential nutrients: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, and Calcium. Check product labels carefully. As a general guideline, aim for:
Avoid pruning during the coldest part of winter and when it’s wet or foggy to reduce the risk of bacterial and fungal disease spread.
The main goals of pruning are to remove dead wood, reduce canopy size, restore tree balance, encourage healthy new growth, and increase fruit set in spring.
Tip: After pruning, apply a copper-based spray to protect wounds from infection by fungi and bacteria.
Pest & disease management is crucial for sustaining yield and tree health. Winter’s colder temperatures reduce insect activity, offering a prime time to tackle pest issues.
Set up a comprehensive Pest and Disease Monitoring Program. During winter, check marked trees (previously affected by pests or diseases) every two weeks; in spring, check weekly. Look under leaves and on new growth for signs like crawlers, yellow spots, black sooty mold, or anything unusual.
Proactive, weekly management is essential for a successful grove.

For Olive Oil Production, growers must decide whether to harvest for quality or quantity. Many Australian growers harvest early for quality and may harvest earlier than normal say somewhere around 3. If growers are after quantity then they may harvest late at say 5 - 6. For Table Olive Production, growers should pick when the olives are looking the nicest at the green or black stage. Methods of harvesting There are many different styles of harvesting. (Your trees must be pruned to suit the style of harvesting).
Different methods may include:
Storing and Transporting your Olives
Make sure you have crates or bins that allow the fruit to breathe and will not cause damage to the fruit.
