Figs branches are very flexible, my grandmother used her cane to reach the high branches and pull them down.

Related question:

I have some large fig trees which produce figs well above my reach. The
shape of the tree prevents me from placing a ladder close enough to
reach the fruit.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to pick figs that are so high? Is
there a tool or a home-made device that works?
