Nut harvesting is the process of collecting mature nuts from trees or shrubs. Common types of nuts include walnuts, almonds, and pecans. Harvesting typically occurs in the fall when the nuts have ripened and fallen to the ground or can be easily removed from the tree. Farmers often use specialized equipment, such as nut harvesters or shakers, to efficiently gather large quantities of nuts. After collection, the nuts are usually cleaned, sorted, and stored to maintain freshness before being sold or processed for consumption. Proper timing and technique are essential for a successful nut harvest.
