A plant transportation assembly for inhibiting a plant from being damaged when the plant is transported includes a support that may be positioned in a plant pot thereby facilitating the support to extend upwardly from the plant pot. A plurality of restraints is provided and each of the restraints is removably coupled to the support. Each of the restraints is removably attached to a plant in the plant pot thereby facilitating the support to retain the plant in an upright orientation in the plant pot when the plant pot is being transported.

A plant support comprises two or more vertically elongated closed looped members which are rotationally spaced around a common vertical axis and connected to each other at the upper end and the lower end of the plant support. The plant support comprises an above-ground section and a relatively shorter in-ground section which is inserted into a planting hole or plant pot before soil is added and a plant is placed inside the plant support. The vertically elongated closed looped members are made of a rigid band material, such as e.g. stainless steel band having a width which is significantly wider than the band is thick.

A gripping arrangement (10) comprises a wound portion (12) disposable around a main support (100), and a holding formation (14, 16) for holding a force applying arrangement (22). A force applied to the holding formation (14, 16) in a first direction to extend the wound portion (12) in said first direction can effect a contracting movement on the wound portion (12) in a second direction transverse to the first direction.

A device for staking a tree into the earth has a ring suitable for extending around the trunk of the tree. A plurality of brackets are connected to the ring. The plurality of brackets have aperture formed therethrough suitable for receipt of stakes, which secure the ring to the earth. A support is connected to the ring and extends upwardly therefrom. A collar is connected to the support and positioned in spaced relation to the ring. The collar also has a diameter suitable for extending around the trunk of the tree.

An apparatus and method for training a grape vine. The apparatus is a linear grid composed of transverse and longitudinal elements that are configured to result in a network of spaces that are sized to substantially provide a separate space for each vine shoot. The apparatus is mobile within the vine canopy serving various functions as the growing season progresses. The mobility of the grid apparatus allows repositioning throughout the growing season while still retaining the shoots within the grid openings.

The present application discloses a plant support device that includes a single support strut, aligned approximately in a vertical direction when in use, and one or more enclosing fixtures, each mounted on a first support strut with its own first hinge, wherein each first hinge enables a substantially vertical swing relative to the support strut when in use, and wherein each first hinge is operatively coupled to a detent for holding the enclosing fixture at selected angles relative to the support strut.

This invention relates to a clamp for holding a pair of spaced objects together and especially to a clamp for supporting a tree trunk or plant to an upright stake or post. The clamp body has a pair of hinged arms having two end portions with each end portion having a clamping jaw for attaching over a pair of spaced objects to be supported to each other, such as a tree trunk to a supporting stake, when said hinged arms are closed. The hinged arms having a snap lock connector for attaching the arms together when said hinged arms are closed so that an object supporting clamp can be attached over a pair of spaced objects for supporting one object to the other object.

A plant holder having an elongated base body several passages extending transversely to the base body for receiving wire-shaped fasteners for plants, and a clamping device disposed on one end of the base body for affixing the plant holder on a holder to be fastened in the floor or on a wall. The base body has latching protrusions associated with the passages for detachably fastening an end of the wire-shaped fastening means that is bent away and extends substantially parallel to the base body. The wire-shaped fastener for the plant can thus be easily and very rapidly attached to the base body and detached again, without requiring a tool or other resources. With the clamping device, the base body of the plant holder can be quickly attached to a rod or tube with a large holding force and just as easily detached again, also without the use of tools.
