ABSTRACT:
A support for tomato plants and the like to reinforce them while growing. It is preferably of plastic material having a bottle shape with an elongated neck. Such neck is progressively increased in diameter from the top to the base portion. At the points of increasing diameter, there is a shoulder serving as a stop for a slip-fitted neck portion. On the shoulder, is supported a wheel-like ring onto which the plants may be tied. Several such rings of increasing diameter of sleeve are provided. The neck instead may be progressively tapered downwardly and outwardly with the wheel-like rings held in place by the taper. Holes are provided at a distance above the bottom of the base portion to provide a reservoir of water for stabilizing the tube in the soil.
