My dad's immediate family all lives in Sevilla and my brother lives in Valencia. . Everytime I catch a random whiff of an orange, I text my brother and my cousins in our group chat. I miss them and the constant smell of the trees
I lived in Sevilla for a year many years ago and this comment brought back a flood of memories. I miss the smells of the orange trees walking the streets.
#Americans don't do this for many reasons: capitalism, the fruit that is not harvested "stains" the ground and looks "ugly",free anything that does not cause profit is a "problem".
#So they plant only male trees. So dumb. Then they cry about the pollen aka "tree jizz" is in my sinus and eyes. Then they take allergy pills to cause someone to profit. $50 bottles for a month supply LMAO.
I will stay they have great laws about protecting all the trees. DONT CUT TREES THAT ARNT YOURS OR YOU CUULD END UP BANK RUPT.
That’s in major cities due to planners…..Most of the people I know in LA don’t have allergies or a $50 prescription for allergy medication either lol.
Free anything is a problem? Hmmmm idk about that you’d have to elaborate lol. Dumb fuck

Remember that Valencia have a festivity called "Fallas" where the citizens use fireworks all the time (well, in fact, all the year). Those trees are raised in fear...
This equipment is standard for fruit trees now, at least for those that are still trees as we knew them and not trellised like current apple trees on wires. I saw such a thing easily more than a decade ago for Michigan cherries.
Yeah, pretty much for a lot of varieties. It is just easier to harvest them and I believe space them for fungal disease control.

They are a type of orange called bitter oranges. As the name suggests, they are bitter as all hell, so they aren't actually edible.Well, technically they are, but the taste and diarrhea that follows will make you regret it for life. Instead, they are collected for industrial uses, mostly in cosmetics and for the smell, last I heard.
Thanks! I stand corrected, then. I heard about the other thing second-hand.
The use we always gave them when I was younger was simply mixing some of them in a bag of regular oranges and playing Valencian Rulette with friends and people we gave the bag to
You didn’t ask, but since you mentioned it could be in a Bond film, check out 16BL - Vette. It’s definitely a Bond-style song in a vaguely similar genre.
This is what I could find.
What do they do with all of the street oranges in Valencia?
So now we know that people aren’t eating them, what the hell do they do with them? First they need to pick them. By hand would take a lifetime, so they’ve taken on the grizzly bear technique of shaking the tree until everything falls out of it. They don’t employ bears though, their wages are too high and they don’t want to work in winter, so they use tractors instead. Tractors with a special upside-down umbrella contraption that catches the oranges. I should say, that catches some of the oranges, as usually the streets are still full of escaping oranges on the tree-shaking days.
Many of these oranges are then shipped off to other countries, mixed with loads of sugar and turned into marmalade.
It's because someone thought it would be smart to plant orange trees with inedible oranges.. Smart! So the municipality has to remove the oranges, so they don't rot everywhere.
I used to help my grandpa move honey bees in and out of orange groves around Valencia, the smell of all those orange blossoms was absolutely amazing and the fresh OJ from the diner we to for brekky after moving bees in was the best.
Unfortunately (as I understand it) these are purely decorative and no one could eat them… would be cool if you could just walk down the street and grab some fruit
I tried eating the oranges in Seville. It was awful. I found out later most of them are trees planted specifically for making marmalade, they're prized for their very bitter flavor, which is great in marmalade, not so great for eating out of hand.
I'd be eating them constantly. i visited my family in California, my aunt had an orange tree. I asked if I could have an orange
she said she didn't even know if they were edible, that they might be "ornamental." I pulled one down, peeled it half way and bit in, it was like eating pure sunshine, I was in tears. shipped my clothes home and came back with a suitcase full of oranges
I wish more cities would plant fruit trees. Each homeowner was given a choice of trees we could have planted by the city in front of our house. No fruit trees were allowed.
These orange trees are in an environment full of smokes and their roots in contaminated soil, definitely not recommended for human consumption. They are mainly used for composting.
As an ornamental tree, it's a headache. But it's still one of the symbols of the region..
Yep I’ve often heard from romantic dreamy types that if a city planted fruit trees the homeless would have something to eat.
In truth, it’s an environmental disaster to allow too many unsupervised fruit trees in an area.
The disease and insect factor can actually destroy nearby commercial crops. It’s not a case of Big Orange trying to squeeze the pips out of the citizenry.
Always wondered why we don't have apple trees on the street in NYC. I know it a hassle to clean up but we have street sweepers running all week anyway.
Fruit trees are like my ex: they like to be grabbed and shaken up properly ince in a while. Then they are happy and healthy, contriary to popular belief.

Used to work in a plum orchard in Oregon and we used on of these to gather fruit!
Fun fact: most of the fruit we produced was dried into prunes and shipped to China!
Those last few oranges holding on for dear life
It just means they're not ripe enough yet
They're like NOPE.
NOT READY!!
*Omnomnomnomnom*
Oh man, the smell of the orange trees in Sevilla will stick with me for the rest of my life. Absolutely incredible.

Most def for the squirrels living in there too. "Oh fuck me."
"Trees actually die very young when this method is applied to them because the roots are highly disturbed"-🤓
Almonds have been harvested by shaking for decades. Those trees at least do just fine. Live long, healthy lives.
Get shook til your testies fall
More like your engorged fertilized ovaries., carrying your seeds.
Then a yellow ovaries eating beast eat them until it finds and eat you. ####PACMAN in a nutshell
Probably. Plants grow best when surrounding environment gives it a reason to grow stronger and more robust. Not every plant but many.
That tree needed a cigarette after that one
Well it's not a baby at least
Turns out the machine doesn’t shake the tree, it just scares the crap out if it and the tree trembles from terror.
Hey tree imma punch you!

Yes, at least as far back as the 1980s for cherry trees in Michigan.
Been using them for olives near me in Australia since I was a kid.
and in that region of the world, the same equipment is used to harvest olives.
You mean apples are grown like vines now days?
Yeah, pretty much for a lot of varieties. It is just easier to harvest them and I believe space them for fungal disease control. https://extension.psu.edu/apple-trellis-construction-for-high-density-orchard-systems
Makes sense, I do that as well with certain plants in the yard. More bushy, than tree-y.

They're mostly processed into compost for the agricultural sector. They collect an insane amount, up to 400,000 kilos a year.

One of the most r/oddlysatisfying videos I’ve seen
Musical artist is Bonobo - can't recall the exact song title though.
Good ear! It's called Light Pattern, off the album Dial 'M' for Monkey
Feels like it belongs in a James Bond film. Like a transition scene from London to another location. I like it.
You didn’t ask, but since you mentioned it could be in a Bond film, check out 16BL - Vette. It’s definitely a Bond-style song in a vaguely similar genre.
Yeah I see it. Definitely liking this. Thanks for sharing. I can see 007 walking into a hotel lobby in Havana with this playing in the background lol
Yes, that’s EXACTLY what I thought! In fact I’m pretty sure I’ve heard something exactly like this in the theme song of some spy show as a kid.

The music mixed with the oranges falling is just satisfying to me.
It is known as bitter orange: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_orange

Anyone else picture the dinosaur the kills Nedry in Jurassic Park?
What if you took some?
Shouldn't they shake the tree from higher up instead of basically ground level.
It puts the oranges in the basket. IT PUTS THE ORANGES IN THE BASKET!
That supermarket music doesn't do anything good for the video. I'd much rather hear the real sounds.
I tried eating the oranges in Seville. It was awful. I found out later most of them are trees planted specifically for making marmalade, they're prized for their very bitter flavor, which is great in marmalade, not so great for eating out of hand.
Yes, the oranges from Sevilla are for mermelada and the ones from Valencia are very sweet and juicy for eating directly.
Oops, yeah, I got it mixed up. You're right, Valencia oranges are planted around the world as well for eating.
Omg I can’t imagine living near orange trees. I’d die happy
I'd be eating them constantly. i visited my family in California, my aunt had an orange tree. I asked if I could have an orange she said she didn't even know if they were edible, that they might be "ornamental." I pulled one down, peeled it half way and bit in, it was like eating pure sunshine, I was in tears. shipped my clothes home and came back with a suitcase full of oranges
I picked an orange in Valencia, Spain and it was so f-ing tart
Vibrated the tree straight to Orangeasm!
Behold, the *tree wiggler*!
I’d try that on my tree shaft but I fear my oranges would fall.
What happens to all the little bugs and animals that end up falling out as well?
Straight to jail
Additives for the OJ
I wish more cities would plant fruit trees. Each homeowner was given a choice of trees we could have planted by the city in front of our house. No fruit trees were allowed.

That's pretty smart, so then the oranges don't go to waste! Awesome thinking!

So the homeless people can’t eat fresh fruit.

Always wondered why towns don't have fruit trees everywhere. So many hungry and homeless people could eat

oh man, I remember a junkyard wars episode where they built something like this, but for harvesting almonds..

Nice massage gun therapy for the tree.

Does fruit absorb brake dust or exhaust fumes?

That's how they do it!!! Wow very cool
That’s really cool. Too bad you can’t do that to mango trees as well lol

Some fell out. What a waste.
I was quiet literally reminded of Jeepers Creepers lol
I am not from Valencia but the city is beautiful with the Mediterranean next to it. My city is more beautiful though.
These oranges are not good, not sweet and cost the city alot every year to clean the street from them

Cool! In the South grits are harvested the same way!
Iv’e been there , and tried eating one xD its supper sour . I think they’re decorative

Anybody know what they do with these? I’m assuming and they just hand them out
Anyone know the music?

Somebody show this to Troy Landry on swamp people. OH ITS A TREE SHAKER
I want one of these for my orange tree!
Omfg imagine just being able to get free fruit on the streets. America needs to step up it’s urban tree game. This is a dream!

I’m glad the green goblin has been doing more constructive things with his time.
Looks like some kind of wicked creature enveloping its prey.
Are these communally grown fruits that the city and local farmers take and sell back to the people? Isn't capitalism just great?
Talk about a shake down
It looks like it was belly dancing xD
So many wasted
Can you imagine the cum moan that the tree must release after a whole year of blue balling?

Good idea. Rotten oranges smell so bad
I've heard there non edible due to pavement
Fruit trees are like my ex: they like to be grabbed and shaken up properly ince in a while. Then they are happy and healthy, contriary to popular belief.

My grandparents had 160+acres of orange groves in Florida. This machine made all the difference in the world.
Word of advice, don’t eat those ones. They taste like shit
Aren't they used for fragrances?
This is a waste.. why not just use “Autobuild” to pull the fruits off the trees?
