I know that I shouldn't post this kind of thing here, but I need help very much. I am a university student and I have a project where I had to make a survey to get the peoples opinions about a tree shaker. It olny takes 2-3 minutes to fill it there is olny 10 questions, but it would mean a lot to me what others think about it. Here is the link:

I've done the survey Betti, but I feel you are not asking the right questions;
Yes I would like a tool to help harvest fruit, but NOT one that shakes the tree as all the fruit would get bruised.
Hi Betti, I've completed the survey but wouldn't need such a tool in my garden because all my fruit trees are minarettes so the fruit is easily reached. I agree with artjak that there would have to be a way to avoid bruising. Last month I saw some Buddhist monks in China harvesting fruit by shaking the tree manually with other monks holding a big sheet underneath to catch the fruit which I suppose would have reduced any bruising problems.
While I was on holiday in Albania last year I watched an automatic tree shaker being used to harvest olives. This was a big commercial machine though and again a sheet was spread underneath to catch the olives.
Betti,
The first rule of being taken seriously, particularly when asking people for help or money, is to proofread your work. Sorry if that seems a little hard, but careless work finds the quickest way to the waste bin. I was Mr Unpopular with all three of our kids, but by their final years at Uni they could all do a presentable essay.
I understand tree shakers are used in commercial orchards, fixed to a tractor. I hardly think it is a suitable or necessary tool for an amateur gardener.
Thank you very much for the answers I know that these questions are not the best one but this was the given thing which I had to do and also Ihave never done anything like this until now as it will not be my job to do these kind of surveys but I appreciate your comments very much because this way I can improve my knowledge, and it was a bit hard for me to find the right words to the survey as english is not my first language. Thank you very much again
Hi Get to 324
You will see I have done your survey on the strength of using it for hazel nuts and walnuts. Disregard it if it's no use to you. Gran
Oops ,done it again
forgot to check my kindle hadn't changed my words.whenever I forget it does it on me ,sorry Bettii.

Betti,
I thought this might be the case and it's not a problem in casual contexts, but for formal purposes it is always better to have your work checked by a friend or a professional to get it 100% correct.
By the way, I've never needed to shake a tree, so the survey isn't relevant to me. But good luck with the project!
A friend bought a telescopic lopper/fruit gatherer which seems to do the trick. (a lopper is a device for cutting small branches)
