ABSTRACT:
The disclosed trellis apparatus is assemblied from a number of separate substantially identical rigid L-shaped pieces, each having short and long generally straight portions meeting across a generally right angle bend, and a loop formed adjacent the free end of each portion. The loop on the short portion is open and presents a gap wider than the cross-section of the long portion and further lies in a plane generally perpendicular to the straight portion. The free end of each long portion may be inserted direct)y into the plant dirt, at different circumferential locations radially adjacent the plant, to a depth that provides stable support thereof and that orients the short portion substantially horizontal and laterally adjacent the plant foliage. The open loop on each short portion can be interlocked with the long portion of the adjacent piece at or near its bend, to laterally secure the pieces together, thereby forming a closed containment ring surrounding the plant at a desired height above the dirt for containing the plant foliage. The loop on the long portion holds the piece firmly within the dirt and blunts the otherwise pointed end for saftey.
