ABSTRACT:
A trellis wire support assembly (21) including a first wire member (22) formed of a pair of arms (24,26) dimensioned to extend outwardly of opposite sides (27,28) of the grape stake (23) and a second wire member (33) formed to secure the first wire member to the stake (23). The arms on the first wire member (22) include a support arm portion (31) and vertically-superimposed retention arm portion (51) that extends back over the support arm portion (31) to trap and retain the trellis wires (32a,32b) against upward forces and/or force reversals due to wind loading and the like. The second wire member (33) is plastically deformed to cinch and securely fasten the first wire member (22) to the grape stake (23).
