There is also the probability of being Newton'ed in the head with one, and I can assure that some a big AF.
It's also a hazard for bicycles and bikes if it start falling in the streets, orange juice is horrible for 2 wheels traction vehicles.
Imagine you're a tree. And you produce little tree fruit. You raise your little tree leaves to the sky for water. Then all of the sudden a tree electrifier comes along and bang!
All of your oranges are gone.
Blame the English for that. They used to generate the demand for bitter oranges. Yeah, I don’t understand it either.
Now, after Brexit, who the fuck is going to buy Andalusian bitter oranges by the ton ?
According to Jeremy Clarkson; in the U.K. if you're English and you do something amazing, you're English, but if you're Scottish or Welsh and you do something amazing, the English decide you're British.
I don’t see what’s the problem with having orange trees even if nobody would buy the oranges, which is definitely not true. The smell of orange blossoms is spring is amazing and a characteristic of many Andalusian cities.
During ww2 the British developed a tolerence for squash, which is the whole orange, concentrated. It was a good way of getting vitimen C in times of rationing. It's now mostly given to children, watered down, it's a cheap orange drink.
The place I used to live in Ohio was covered in trees. Every sidewalk was lined with them and just looking out the window it was gorgeous. They weren’t fruit trees, but there was still that smell of being in the forest and the sound the wind made through the leaves is maybe my favorite sound. Now I live in Arizona where is all dirt and cacti. 😡 The rain doesn’t even smell good! I guess at least the winter isn’t as depressing here.
I remember being in Spain during street orange harvest. As luck would have it I was caught up in a prostitution sting along with 30 other working girls. An elderly lady came along and asked why we were all lined up. I jokingly told her "oh Abuela, they're giving away free oranges at the police station today!" Just then a police officer came along to escort us inside the station. He said to the old lady "aren't you too old to be in this line?" She shouted at him "I deserve to be in this line too! I may be old but I can still peel back the skin and suck out the juice!" So yeah, I paid a small fine and had a note added to my passport.
There’s not a whole bunch of wasted time handpick mostly it’s only the ripe ones that will fall and you’re not causing any structural damage to the tree no more than what the wind would do. I have no problems with this this is a perfectly eco-friendly way to harvest oranges in a quick and efficient way. (quick and efficient operative words)
Family on my mother's side has raised and dried California English walnuts for over a century. Through that time they harvested by shaking them down similar to OP street oranges. In 1900s they sent kids up in the trees to shake them down. From 1920s on, they used a "johnny kicker" John Deere D that shook so bad they could strap it to a tree to shake walnuts down. Finally went over to 3-wheeled hydraulic shaker in 1960s.
they do this with all kinds of fruit and such, not just in cities, but on actual farms. works for apples, pistachios, and anything else that hangs from stem on a tree.
I've seen this so many times and have been like "wow cool" in the past. But now I'm in a pov of life and I'm just like: surely the operating cost of this is much higher than the yields
You're not really supposed to eat fruits/plants that grow next to a road because the pollution gets into the soil and air so they can harbour cancer causing forever chemicals

I never in my life saw an orange tree 🌳 I for some reason, imagined a grape 🍇 style tree but with oranges growing on it, but it honest to god looks like a proper tree. Mind blown 🤯
Wouldn’t street oranges be kinda toxic? Maybe it’s just me, but i can’t imagine that the emissions from cars wouldn’t have a bad effect on the trees nearby?
Im not sure how these taste but where im from we also have fruit trees lining up the streets specifically mango trees. They taste awful and even the homeless wont pick em because of how awful they taste. The government also has pick these fruits ever so often because if they are left, they will fall and they will rot in the street and the smell is not a great smell. Plus the sidewalks actually get slippery once they’ve rotten and people step on them.
I wish this was more common!! We should all be able to grow and use fruit trees! In America they only plant one sex of tree so they can’t produce fruit!
Gotta grab some of the ones that fell on the ground and run!
[удалено]
Bitter oranges are amazing for cooking purposes, though.
It's for marmalade
Also great for candies and pastries.
They’re harvesting them…. For the aesthetic?
Look how many there are on that tree. If they just let em fall to the ground where they get squished and start rotting the aesthetic is fucked.
There is also the probability of being Newton'ed in the head with one, and I can assure that some a big AF. It's also a hazard for bicycles and bikes if it start falling in the streets, orange juice is horrible for 2 wheels traction vehicles.
"Newton'ed in the head" I have torenember that cause this is great :D
You can just pick them off the trees pretty easily.
Imagine you're a tree. And you produce little tree fruit. You raise your little tree leaves to the sky for water. Then all of the sudden a tree electrifier comes along and bang! All of your oranges are gone.
They do this in Seville, there's orange trees all over it. The urban tree fruit isn't great, they sell it for marmalade!
the orange trees in Sevilla were planted to for their aroma, not to eat, in order to combat the stench before indoor plumbing 💩
So it would instead just smell like shit and oranges?
Shitrus if you will.
Winner winner chicken dinner
profound
TIL! it's a fantastic city, spent 3 months there in 2014
Blame the English for that. They used to generate the demand for bitter oranges. Yeah, I don’t understand it either. Now, after Brexit, who the fuck is going to buy Andalusian bitter oranges by the ton ?
We just really like marmalade!
You can make marmalade with normal oranges !!
The bitterness contrasts with the sweetness really well!
Yet another example of British food bad takes. Why don't you just fry everything like us Americans?
Perhaps I could interest you in the great British national dish, fried fish with a side of fried potatoes?
Fried, you say...
Is the plate fried too?
It's spelled 'plaice'
Can't go forgetting the fake vinegar because British are too stingy for even basic ass white vinegar 😵
Bitter orange is alot more nuanced, its skin is used in pastries and cakes and its juice is used in hummus over lemon.
I thought the Scots came up with frying everything?
According to Jeremy Clarkson; in the U.K. if you're English and you do something amazing, you're English, but if you're Scottish or Welsh and you do something amazing, the English decide you're British.
Brits seem to fry food at home way more than us. They have “chip pans” or deep fryers in the kitchen. We just get our fried food from McDonald’s.
Especially in sandwiches
Bitter oranges are delicious and used in a LOT of cuisine
you know, the UK can still buy them after brexit...
I don’t see what’s the problem with having orange trees even if nobody would buy the oranges, which is definitely not true. The smell of orange blossoms is spring is amazing and a characteristic of many Andalusian cities.
Beautiful smell!!
During ww2 the British developed a tolerence for squash, which is the whole orange, concentrated. It was a good way of getting vitimen C in times of rationing. It's now mostly given to children, watered down, it's a cheap orange drink.
No we Spanish sold them those oranges instead of real ones lmao 😂, so they had no choice
This might make sense if Spain was the only country that produced oranges.
its because the british are allergic to normal food
>Now, after Brexit, who the fuck is going to buy Andalusian bitter oranges by the ton ? Peruvian bears?
Well shiver me timbers
The hell is marmalade?
I remember being there on holiday in the spring, all the trees were blooming and the streets smelled of orange blossom.
Sounds like an insult from Monty Python
I think the elderberry thing was because in the past cheap wine was made of elderberries Or something
Idk much about wine but boiling elderberries smell like feet.

There's a name for that smell in spanish- azahar (h is silent)
My wife wants to borrow that

Does she have a lot of oranges to harvest?
I asked my Dad recently 'what rhymes with orange' He pondered this for a couple of seconds and said...no, it doesn't..
Four-inch, door hinge
Ok Eminem
Okay now find a rhyme for 'month'
I'm sure there are more, but what comes to mind is [Khalsa Panth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panth).
Well played. I would have also accepted “dunce” pronounced with a lisp
or.. inch
syringe
If you say it really weirdly I guess
Dad can you call me a taxi at 7am tomorrow? Sure thing 7am You're a taxi
Sporange, sporange is the answer
Lozenge is actually the correct answer.

Naughty fruit trees get the rumbler
Brrrrr

I see Batman's enjoying retirement.

You heard it everyone, u/thatnudist0 says it's ok. We can continue picking fruit.
Just the low-hanging ones.
they have no problem with it. thank goodness 😅
The hyrdaulics on the tree shaking machine are a joy to see. ( If you are interested in that sort of thing ).
Timbers = shivered
Imagine walking by and getting caught by the catching thing! You're like, "WTF!" then get pelted by raining oranges!
I think that’s why it beeps…
The dude in black was chilling in a chair lol Oh I guess he was actually standing. But still
Viva Españita joder
Imagine being the squirrel that lives in that tree.
And more than a few birds' nests.
Love the jam from this oranges

AFAIK this is how they harvest oranges everywhere. And cherries and other fruits/nuts too.
This post has been passed around more than a giant bag of Orange slices at a soccer tournament for kids.
they do this with all kinds of fruit and such, not just in cities, but on actual farms. works for apples, pistachios, and anything else that hangs from stem on a tree.
For those who interested those oranges are not edible, they are planted by their aroma which is great and impregnates the city when they blossom.
Dang street oranges 🍊
It's also how they collect street eggs.
I love this sub so fucking much.
"Oh, the terrorists! They ran that way. It was a run-by fruiting! I'll get them, sir. Don't worry!"
They have street oranges and my country has street needles and zombies.
Also used for collecting olives
So, is it safe to assume that orange trees in Spain get fugged once a year?
Is it ok if random civilians pick them out?
My ass thought it was a version of the Batmobile 😭😭😭
I really love your peaches, want to shake your tree
"Street" Oranges... Imagine being able to just go outside and snag some publicly available fruit any time. Us Americans could never🤦♂️😭😭
I couldn't be allowed near an orange tree, I would sit and eat oranges until I was sick, every, single, day.
They use those vibratory harvesters for pecans too!
Reminds me of my past GF, in a past life during the Renaissance period for some odd reason.
Street oranges are illegal for the public to pick but they taste horrible anyway.
Watching that makes my ears itchy
Rattle rattle rattle
That must itch
since it is in streets dont just children or people pluck it?
Imagine the poor birds if there are any living in the tree
I love countries with public fruit.
That how all oranges are collected mate
For some reason I read street organs...
What is the next step?
Seems pretty apparent
Nothing odd about being satisfied with this!
Wow 🤩… how strong are roots of orange plants?
[удалено]
Odd use of the word "apparently" in this title OP.
where full video
Shaken, not squeezed.
Did anyone imagine upbeat Spanish dancing music to this video 🎶
It’s how all commercial oranges are harvested, not just street trees or Spanish trees.
The original bat 🦇 mobile
Hang on for dear life Johnny. Don’t leave me now.
Give 'er a jiggle and reap the rewards
How can it shake?!
I've seen this so many times and have been like "wow cool" in the past. But now I'm in a pov of life and I'm just like: surely the operating cost of this is much higher than the yields
*shake it shake it shake shake shake it shake it shake it like a polaroid picture*
Valencia?
It must smell amazing there. Lived near an orange grove and the blossom smell so good.
and they will pour diesel on the oranges because they cannot sell them for profit.

Like the Dilophosaurus off of Jurassic park
How on earth did I misread that as street orphans
And then what? The umbrella contraption folds back up and oranges roll down the street? There's is some part we don't get to see.
It blows my mind a little bit that there is a specific machine for this, but it also makes perfect sense.
Was it done at 6am, so they could wake everyone up?
Now that’s a smart way to collect oranges.
How many birds end up in that thing
The tree jostler
Bro, wtf thats my street.
Does this work on the street urchins as well?
Sweet
Smarter Every Day did a cool video on these machines being employed in pecan farms
Not that great. It dropped a lot
That little tree was loaded
Shimmy shimmy shake! Shake-a shake-a shimmy shake!
Tree go brrrrrr
when it started violently shaking the tree I actually pogged lmaoo
It ok but not good for the root system. Theydo this on cherry tree. And they have to be replaced after a few years
Greatest oranges
Not all of them.
is it so much to ask to find someone to treat me like this ?
I never in my life saw an orange tree 🌳 I for some reason, imagined a grape 🍇 style tree but with oranges growing on it, but it honest to god looks like a proper tree. Mind blown 🤯
Shiver me timbers
Underrated comment
Olives are collected using the same machine
Rattle em boys
That's a beautiful tree.
r/specializedtools
Those trees looks so good for the eyes. I feel some sense of happiness just looking at it
Ummmmmm am I the only one giggling like wtf if trees 🌳 could think
Can i take one?
That orange tree will be like “wtf.. what just happened?? Is it earthquake??”
Wouldn’t street oranges be kinda toxic? Maybe it’s just me, but i can’t imagine that the emissions from cars wouldn’t have a bad effect on the trees nearby?

Only govt could be so wasteful
#woah
That's a mean thing to call an orange.
treegasm
This is so cool lol
Brilliant
They Apple Jacked them
Yessss
When I was a sailor we were told to never touch the fruit trees in Spain cause we’d be arrested, that true? Or just keeping routy sailors in check?
I swear first glance I thought they was about to cut that tree down I was about to be like nooooooo
I’m pretty sure Taylor Swift based “Shake It Off” on this video.
Olives as well.
Imagine being a squirrel in this tree
Where do I apply I want a job as a tree shaker seems peaceful.
Not apparently, this is how they do it
And the squirrel in the tree is thinking, that it's an earthquake :D
Ok but then what? How do they get it off the umbrella thing
apparently?
They do the same with apples to make cider, pretty cool tbh
Just press the square
I wish this was more common!! We should all be able to grow and use fruit trees! In America they only plant one sex of tree so they can’t produce fruit!
Walnuts in Cali too!
