ABSTRACT:
An umbrella-shaped topiary framework has a supporting post simulating natural wood bark along its outer surface, at the upper end of which is supported an umbrella-like framework upon the top of which is received a circular umbrella pad fabricated of face-to-face sheets of plastic, open-mesh sun screening material sandwiching thereinbetween a layer of sphagnum moss. The supporting post as well as the umbrella-like framework are comprised of interfitting parts of a molded synthetic plastic material for compact storage and transportation, and durability in use. When vertically supported in soil at the base of the supporting post, vines or climbing plants rooted in the soil grow up along the outside of the post and under and over the umbrella pad at the top of the post to form an unusually attractive umbrella topiary.
