It's what it says on the tin. I have a forestry multifarm using a gold circuit board with 4 emerald/orchard electron tubes. Fertilizer, power, and water are all supplied. Automatic or Manual, it's all the same, the orchard does not pick Forestry's own fruits/nuts. You can see from the attached graphic that the orchard, which accepts no inputs, is also making no outputs. Fully ripened plums visible in upper left hand corner. Have tried with walnuts and cherries, and a single fruit or nut is never harvested.
