grip the stake and enclose the plant stem loosely 
at the same time.

Will not break or come loose. The wire running 
through the tape makes them unbreakable and 
they cannot come unfastened. The tape protects 
the plant stems.

BAMBOO CANE STAKES

as roses, dahlias, delphintums and many others, 
protect them from winds and heavy rains. If
