They send out twirling shoots that will take to the spiral shape of these supports and weave themselves into a sturdy position. Standing 1.6m high, these stakes can be placed straight into the ground or growbag and can be connected through the hole in the tip for extra support.
This guide is for gardeners looking to maximize their tomato yield using the Selections Tomato Spiral Climbing Plant Supports. These supports help your tomato plants grow strong and produce more fruit by offering sturdy support. A key benefit is the spiral design which promotes healthy plant growth. Be aware that these stakes are best suited for indeterminate tomato varieties.
