A device for supporting a tree limb. The device includes a Y-shaped structure comprising a V-shaped portion and a stem portion. In some embodiments, the V-portion can be situated to contact a tree branch or tree trunk to provide support to the tree. In embodiments, a telescoping stem portion having a longitudinal axis and first and second ends is provided. A releasable coupler can be included for varying the length of the telescoping stem portion between the first and second ends. A V-shaped portion is fixedly coupled to the first end of the stem portion.

A tree limb connector and method of use has a first member and second member that, when connected, securely hold two limbs of a tree in place. The device has a first member with a hook at a first end and a hollow receptacle at a second end. A second member has a hook at a first end and a threading on a second end with a length and teeth. Each hook attaches onto one limb of a tree. The threading is pulled into a first end of receptable and out of a second end of the receptacle, held securely in place via a tongue at the second end of the receptacle that catches a rib at a desired length. The present invention and methods may be used to bring two plant limbs closer together to reduce bare spots for ornamental reasons, such as on a Christmas tree, or provide added support.

A support device, or hook, for removably securing movable wires on a row of plants, such as for example a vineyard or an orchard, on a support pole. In particular, the support device is made up of an elastically deformable filiform body, shaped in such a manner as to have at least engagement elements adapted to elastically cooperate with an opening provided on said support pole to removably secure the support device on the support pole, and support elements, adapted to elastically cooperate with the external surface of the support pole to removably receive said wire, wherein said engagement elements and the support elements are formed by portions of the filiform body lying on planes essentially orthogonal to each other.

A trellis assembly for decorative trellising of vines includes a base that is configured to position in soil. A bar is coupled to and extends bidirectionally from a top of the base. The bar is arcuate. A plurality of rods is coupled to and extends radially from the bar. The rods are substantially coplanar. Each rod has a plurality of fasteners that is coupled to and extends from the rod. The fasteners are configured to couple to vines to trellis the vines.

The modular plant support system is a modular trestle system adapted for use in horticulture. The modular plant support system comprises a plurality of stakes, a plurality of ties, and one or more interstake connectors. Each of the plurality of stakes further comprises a first plurality of hooks that provide vining and other growing plants climbing purchase points that allow plants to grow in a manner that optimizes exposure to sunlight and therefore plant yields. Each of the plurality of ties is a cord that is formed with a series of knobs that allows the plant to be secured to an individual stake without damaging the plant or constraining the growth path of the plant. Each of the one or more interstake connectors provides climbing purchases that allow a plant to expand in directions other than the vertical direction.

Systems and methods for directing plant growth include a first attachment unit and a second attachment unit, both units being identical. Each attachment unit includes a body. A linking head is connected to the body and has at least one or a tab and a plurality of grooves. The linking head is substantially circular in shape. Each attachment unit also includes a linking base connected to the body and having another of a tab and a plurality of grooves. The linking base of the first unit is sized to fit together with the linking head of the second unit. The linked attachment units are angularly positionable by placing the tab into one of the plurality of grooves. The system also includes at least one band connectable between the attachment units and a plant.

A plant branch spacer that is utilized to spread or otherwise manipulate the direction of branches, without interfering with the roots; the plant branch spacer having an expandable ring, a plurality of knobs, and a locking mechanism. The expandable ring has a first arc-section and a second arc-section that are slidably engaged with each other, allowing the expandable ring to contract, expand, and separate. The locking mechanism is connected to the first arc-section and removably engaged with the second arc-section, wherein the locking mechanism secures the second arc-section in place along the first arc-section. The plurality of knobs is positioned about the expandable ring, and distributed to form a series of pockets used to separate branches from one another. A branch manipulator can be attached to one of the plurality of knobs in order to further redirect one or more branches away from the expandable ring.

A plant support collar for supporting plant stems includes a central frame. The collar further includes a first hook member and a second hook member extending from the central frame in different directions. The first hook member and the second hook member each have a free end, the free end together with the central frame defining a passage for accommodating plant stems in the respective hook member. The central frame includes a support area configured to abut an intersection of the stems.
