ABSTRACT:
A plant support in which a wire loop plant support is adjustably supported in cantelever fashion from a post at fixed positions on the post by a post coupling structure including at least one terminal end of the wire being formed as a projection integral with the wire loop for piercing or otherwise entering the post and a reaction bearing member also integral with the wire loop but at a lower level than the integral projection so that downward acting plant loads on the cantelever plant support urge the reaction bearing member against the post and the projection into the post. The spacing between the sharp tip of the projection and the bearing member is sufficient to permit the integral post coupling structure to slide down the post to any selected position and, pivot to a horizontal loop position about the reaction bearing member. When in the preferred embodiment of the invention the post is wooden and cylindrical, the piercing projection enters the wood so that the wire loop can thereby be angularly oriented at any desired position relative to the axis of the post.
