ABSTRACT:
A clip (20) for supporting a vine or plant stem (S) on a pair of planks (12, 14) of a wooden fence (10). The clip (20) has an elongate body portion (22) and a pair of legs (24, 26) extending in opposite transverse directions relative to the longitudinal axis L of the elongate body portion (22). The clip (20) is mounted within the space (T) between opposed side edges (16, 18) of the wooden planks (12, 14) with the legs (24, 26) having projecting gripping elements (30) for biting into and gripping the wooden side edges (16, 18) upon insertion of the legs (24, 26) within the space (T) between the side edges (16, 18). Upon installation of the clip (20) with the plant stem (S) received between the legs (24, 26) and inward depression of the legs (24, 26) for fitting between the side edges (16, 18) a torsional loading of the elongate body portion (22) occurs. Upon release of the legs (16, 18) gripping elements (30) of the legs (24, 26) are urged into gripping contact with the wooden planks (12, 14) from the torisonal loading of body portion (22) with the plant stem (S) extending across the space (T) formed between the planks (12, 14).
