ABSTRACT:
A plant support for vegetables, flowers, and fruit, including a plurality of vertical rods, laterally spaced and linked together by a plurality of horizontal rings constructed of a multiplicity of horizontal rods to define a plant enclosure having numerous rectangular openings for supporting plant branches. Each of the horizontal rods define, on their opposing ends, a cylindrical portion for rotatably engaging respective adjacent vertical rods to permit the manipulation of the plant support to a variety of shapes in encircling a plant, when in the upright position and to define a protective cage for bedding plants when in the horizontal position. The cylindrical portions are preferably helical in shape and interwound with helical portions of adjacent horizontal rods for superior strength and frictional support for holding the plant support in a selected mode. In that each horizontal rod fully rotates in its engagement with a vertical rod, the plant support readily collapses to a width approximating one-half the circumference.
