The stakes provide strength and support, and they permit plants to continue pushing skyward when they'd otherwise be droop due to rain, high winds, or the weight of their fruit or flowers. Green plastic-coated plant stake with a solid steel core for durability and year after year usage. Rustproof with water tight closures on both ends. Will not rot or split. Lightweight for indoor or outdoor use. Spurs on stake provide easy tying and prevent vine slip down.
