Small $K$:

After sorting the trees in decreasing order of $B_i$, we don't need to consider trees outside of the first $K.$ Furthermore, if we decide to select $b>0$ baskets from tree $i,$ then each basket should have either $\left\lfloor \frac{B_i}{b}\right\rfloor$ or $\left\lfloor \frac{B_i}{b}\right\rfloor+1$ berries. Using these observations, we can do some sort of backtracking.

Full Solution:

Let $b$ the minimum number of berries in one of the buckets that Elsie receives. Without loss of generality, we can assume that all of Elsie's buckets contain exactly $b$ berries. Now our goal is to maximize the number of berries placed into $K$ buckets of size at most $b$ such that at least $\frac{K}{2}$ buckets have exactly $b$ berries inside.

Consider a single tree's allotment into the buckets in an optimal solution. There's no point having multiple buckets with less than $b$ berries from this tree. So all buckets will have exactly $b$ berries aside from at most one.

Thus, it's clearly optimal to repeatedly fill buckets of size exactly $b$ until we run out of buckets or all trees have less than $b$ berries remaining. If we still have buckets to fill, sort the remaining trees by $B_i\pmod{b}$ and iterate from the largest to the smallest value.

We can repeat this procedure for each $b=0\ldots \max(B_i),$ which runs in $O(\max(B_i)\cdot N\log N)$ time.
