Abstract
An improved plant support structure formed of relatively rigid, bent steel wire. In one form, the plant support comprises a plurality of wire elements each formed into a plurality of diamond-shaped segments with each element mutually interconnectable to a like element by means of a plurality of rigid, frictional, releasable wire interconnections. In an alternate form, the plant support of the present invention is formed of a longitudinal wire fabric web comprising a single strand of wire formed into a plurality of mutually interconnected transverse strand segments each bent into a zig-zag shape and interconnected to the next adjacent strand segment by means of frictional twisted wire connections. The plant support structure may be open fence-like trellis structures or closed substantially cylindrical structures.
