A framework to horizontally support plants for exposing a greater surface area of the plant to required nutrients, such as sunlight. The framework includes a vertical structure having a lower end and an upper end, the lower end being inserted within the ground adjacent a plant, the upper end adapted to extend above the ground, and a horizontal structure that horizontally extends from the upper end of the vertical structure. The horizontal structure generally comprises a plurality of hollow-shaped supports horizontally spaced from each other and connected via connecting supports, all of which are generally comprised of a wire structure and all of which are substantially located within a common horizontal plane. The plant generally grows through the innermost hollow support and a plurality of fasteners that may extend from the horizontal structure retain an end portion of the plant in a horizontal orientation along the horizontal structure. |
