Pistachios harvested by machine. The harvester machine passes through the pistachio orchard and shakes each tree so that the ripe pistachios fall into an apron. A conveyor at the bottom brings them up to a loading bin after they pass through a blower to remove leaves and debris. Kern County, California. USA.
