Is it like the west with all modern machinery?? No Way!!Here they choose a very basic method; they use a ladder to go up to the tree, hanging the bin to one of the branches, after making the bin full, they send it down with a rope for the workers waiting for them.The life of the one on the ladder is almost in hands of the one on the ground!And unfortunately each year some people fall and break their legs and even worse ... What happens if the cellphone of the one on the ground rings and ... !!!Now the time to put all of the cherries in the baskets and send them to the market on the small Nissan trucks (which are the scariest drivers in Iran - no respect for the rules!).Cherries in the baskets.Nissan trucks, the worst drivers!The season in June is around two weeks, then you can plan to be here next year at the right time.Natural spring and the cherries.
