Trellis

A trellis is an open framework that supports climbing plants by giving their stems or tendrils a structure to grip or grow through.

Climbing plant: A plant that grows upward or outward by attaching to supports or leaning on other vegetation. Trellises are designed to support plants whose growth habit requires external support.
Vertical gardening: A method of growing plants on upright structures to use height as well as ground area. A trellis is one of the simplest structures for turning a garden into a vertical growing space.
Plant training: The deliberate directing and shaping of plant growth through pruning, tying, or support. Trellises make plant training possible by providing fixed paths for stems and branches.
Bean pole: A pole or group of poles used to support climbing bean plants. Bean poles support climbers individually, unlike a trellis that spreads support across a framework.
Plant tendril: A slender, specialized plant organ that coils around nearby objects to anchor a climbing stem. Tendril-bearing plants grip the narrow bars or wires of a trellis.
Tomato: A fruit-bearing plant in the nightshade family, widely grown as a food crop. Indeterminate tomato plants can be tied to trellises to keep stems upright and fruit off the ground.
Phototropism: A growth response in which a plant or other organism grows toward or away from light. Trellises can position foliage so growing shoots reach light while remaining supported.
Rose garden: A garden designed for cultivating roses, often with structures that display climbing varieties. Rose gardens use trellises to display climbing roses against walls and along paths.
Twining plant: A climbing plant whose stem or leaf stalk winds around a support as it grows. Twining stems need upright members they can wrap around.
Cucumber: A trailing vine in the gourd family cultivated for its edible fruits. Trellising cucumber vines improves airflow and keeps developing fruits away from damp soil.
