Coconuts need to be twisted to harvest from coconut tree (real)

[Reifel]

Im from Brazil coast, and learn from worker on grandpa's farm, that coconuts need to be twisted to be harvested from the coconut tree, the worker need to climb and twist the coconut to break fibers that attach it on tree

and from a friend that lives at rural town with beach, its is not possible to harvest coconut throwing rocks (because the strong resistence of fiber that attach coconut on tree)

the existing methods is only by harvest from ground or with very long stick (with sharp object on top, to cut fiber)

need to twist or cut to break this area

So we need to make a tool to twist down coconuts. Check.

There's no need to twist to strip the fibers, just slide the sides between rocks

Sorry, my bad. A spear with a sharp stone perpendicular to the tip would be a proper tool to harvest coconuts.

exactly, like a sickle attached to long stick, to cut the part that is holding the coconut

I like the idea of being able to climb palm trees to drop the coconuts. But knowing my luck i would fall to my death.
