A trellis system for training a row of grape vines is disclosed. The trellis system comprises a frame supporting a first cordon wire and a second cordon wire, wherein the two cordon wires are substantially parallel to one another. The frame is mounted relative to the ground so that the first cordon wire and the second cordon wire are tilted relative to a horizontally level plane. In additional or alternatively, the first cordon wire and the second cordon wire can be tilted relative to the slope of the ground directly below the first cordon wire and the second cordon wire.

A system of anchored structural support elements for use in horticulture, commonly referred to as a trellis anchor, as employed to support plant growth in orchards, vineyards, hop fields and the like, in both indoor and outdoor use. The trellis anchor and anchoring system has an anchor base support with a support cradle that extends from a footing to support superstructures. The support cradle receives a trellis pole anchor and the support cradle extends upward and at a support angle.

Multiple anchor base supports with trellis pole anchors assembled in an extended structure, as employed in a plant-support in a collective assembly of stakes, poles, wires and shade structures, water delivery systems, sensors, or similar superstructures.
