My mango tree started fruiting this year, after years of inactivity. But then the ants, the bats and the humidity started posing a threat, just as the bastards were ripening. So I had to clamber up the ladder, top step and all, then onto a branch and use a mop handle with a plastic container affixed atop to lift and twist the fruit. Great crop. Mangoes daily now. No fear.
Stay, lords and gentlemen, and pluck no more,
To pluck down justice from your awful bench,
May rather pluck on laughter than revenge,
Pluck them asunder,
The ripest fruit first falls, and so doth he,
Who dareth not ascend to ladder acme.
