Grape vines may grow on a trellis comprising a series of wires supported by a line of posts, but it is difficult to machine-prune vines after harvest without interference from wires. A trellis having primary posts and secondary posts may support vines in a manner that cane growing from vine's cordons can be readily removed. Between each neighing pair of primary posts there are at least two secondary posts. A cordon wire runs along and is supported by the posts at or adjacent to top. Cordons of vines are connected to, and grow along, wire such that most foliage and grapes forming part of vines grow below wire. Wire is held by posts above ground level in a manner to be non-destructively pulled upwards to free it from posts. This may occur after cordons have been severed from rest of vine and may then be readily stripped from wire.

A post includes a hollow elongate tubular pipe. The post has an open upper end and an open lower end. The post has an upper portion and a lower ground engaging portion joined to one another. The upper portion is adapted to predominately extend above the ground and the lower ground engaging portion is adapted to be fully inserted into the ground. The upper portion and the lower ground engaging portion are separated by a protruding region immediately adjacent to where the upper portion and lower ground engaging portion join together.

A vertical plant support system that is anchored into the ground by a stake to provide a solid support which holds a long hollow rectangular prism that is attached to it. This hollow rectangular prism has holes throughout its length on all 4 sides. A brace-like attachment is then attached to the hollow rectangular prism using the holes as a point of contact at various points of the growth of the vertical growing plants. These braces can be attached at any time during the growth of the plant. Additionally, there is a connection piece that connects 2 hollow rectangular prisms in order to vertically extend the height of the support system. This allows the full vertical support system to grow indeterminately along with the plant. This support system supports the plant from a lower elevation to a higher elevation, in response to the growth of the plant.

Vineyard supporting pole, in particular an intermediate pole arranged between the two head poles, between which is stretched the plant carrying wire, the pole consisting of a metal section whose lower end is driven into the ground. The top end of the pole has a sliding surface for supporting the plant, the sliding surface being formed by a curved part of the metal section, which is furrowed by a groove within which the carrying wire is held.

A fence system, post, and method of manufacture are herein disclosed. The post includes a shaft, and an overmold layer extending at least a portion of a length of the shaft. The overmold layer includes a plurality of external attachment locating features for selectively securing wire locating attachments at predetermined locations along the length of the shaft. The fence system includes a plurality of the posts and a plurality of wire locating attachments configured to be attached to the external attachment locating features of the posts.

A tree support assembly may include three or more adjustable legs and a support ring. The support ring may include a first half and a second half that each includes a first end and a second end, a hinge pivotally connecting the respective first ends of the first half and the second half, and a protrusion extending from the second end of the first half. Additionally, the support ring may include an opening disposed within the second end of the second half, in which the protrusion of the first half may be positioned within the opening of the second half in a closed-ring configuration. The support ring may also include a securing feature and an engaging feature that engages with an arm of the securing feature in the closed-ring configuration. In addition, the support ring may include three or more receiving cavities that each receives one of the adjustable legs.

A tree support system and method for temporarily supporting a tree that is easy to install and remove, and does not impart damage to the tree. A plurality of one-piece molded support blocks which are designed to be strapped to the trunk of a tree encircling the trunk. Each support block is specifically configured to avoid causing damage to the tree by including a padded tree-engaging surface to protect the tree from damage, and a pair of strap-receiving loops which are disposed on the block so as to be spaced from the tree trunk such that securing straps are maintained in spaced relation from the tree trunk. The support blocks further include an angled cavity having a generally rectangular cross-section sized for receiving a wooden support post or leg, such as a 24, thereby ensuring proper angled positioning of the support posts.
