You'll appreciate the versatility of these natural willow trellises in the garden. These plant supports expand and contract like an accordion, so they can be set up as squat or as tall as you like. The peeled willow and diamond shaped openings make these teepees a graceful, natural accent.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
We are using these trellises for growing green beans and peas. I love the design; they are really attractive and don't take up a lot of room.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I have a 12' post w/ a light attached behind my koi pond. In the squat position I could get this over the light & post like a sleeve down to ground level. This looks geat with my clematis climbing all around it[...] it was [$] and it doesn't look sturdy enough to survive a Syracuse,NY winter. If it survives it will be an amazing buy that I'm thrilled with otherwise an expensive disposable trellis. Time will tell!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Plan to use for beans and cukes -need height in that area of garden but no wall space for other type of trellis. Purchased a small and medium, both look wonderful - add character to the landscaping with a very natural look.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Would like a trellis that was taller than 70" since I am using it to grow beans.
Have not actually seen its full potential because I am just now planting my beans.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I use these trellises in my vegetable garden, in the squash section and then I grow pole beans amongst the squash; I use them for gourds, cukes and flowers, also planted with sweet peas and then lettuce underneath inside the trellis so the deer can't get it. These trellises are beautiful, so easy to use and store, and securing them to the ground is simple, use a piece of bamboo as long as the trellis, pound it into the soil and tie the trellis to it. I want 20 of them!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This is the second year I have the had the small & medium willow trellises and they're fabulous! They can be difficult to stake/secure in the ground which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. We've found you can use giant staples or bent pieces of coat hangers until the vines are sturdy enough to keep the trellises from tipping over.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This is a great product and makes your vegetable garden look good too. We use it for our beans. It is pretty durable (this is our second) and will last between 2 and 3 years (store inside during the winter). [...]
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Bought the trellis to grow cucumbers for the first time. Thought this would be more attractive than netting. Just put them out.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I really like the look of this trellis for my country style garden. I bought the medium size and am using it for a honeysuckle climber. If it works out well, I'd like others in different sizes.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I bought these to replace two triangular collapsible trellises I bought here many years ago. I didn't think those could be improved upon, but these do just that. They are symmetrical and lovely, and the graduated spaces between make it easy to plant items in the center and still be able to reach them. The peas climbing the sides look gorgeous, and I can still reach the lettuce in the center.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I put this over a peony in the spring and planted sweet pea and morning glory vines to climb up the teepee when the peony is done blooming, I love this
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
When I placed the trellises in my vegetable garden I knew they were exactly what I was looking for. They are also sturdy and will hold up for more than one season. They are nice to look at.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
USING IT ON SMALL TREES TO KEEP SQUIRRELS AND DEER FROM EATING LEAVES AND BARK. BUT SHOULD HAVE A WAY TO SECURE IT TO THE GROUND. PROBABLY SOME KIND OF LARGE STAPLES/PINS SO THAT IT DOES NOT FALL OVER IN WIND OR BE PUSHED OVER BY ANIMALS.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am using this product for my Bitter Melons and my Snake Gourd it looks beautiful but I think it shoud be 12 inches higher.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I've gotten several compliments on the trellis, but it can be a challenge to get "seated" well enough to stand up to a bit of wind. The beans aren't climbing it yet, but I will need to anchor it sooner than later, least it fall over and take the plants with it.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Not only do they support my veggies, I also planted flowering vines at the base of each. I have 2 small ones in an 4x8 raised garden. They add another layer of beauty to what Mother Nature is doing. As a focal point, your eye can relax, then scan the small garden.
For my garden size, only the two smalls would work. Medium and large? I would loved to have ordered, but they would just be two big.
Enjoy --

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
These look great. I have three of them, one has clematis twined around it, the others will support peas this spring. They are very architectural and pretty in the garden, also provide a little screening from a close neighbor.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
We have a small garden and it really adds a nice architectural element.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I ordered the medium and large size and will be ordering the small now too. It's perfect for my sweet peas, beans, and cukes. A support that is also attractive is important to me. I don't like the look of cages and wires.[...]
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
The only con I can see on this product is the small pins used to hold these together. As of first use there is no issue , I am just a little concerned about how they will last in the long term. Other than that I am very pleased. They look great in the garden and I hope even better when my sugar snap peas start climbing>
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Cute, inexpensive, but definately needs staking. Not sure how it will hold up throughout the long hot Houston summer, or whether or not it will be reusable.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am a new vegetable gardener and have a raised bed that is very visible in our yard. I needed support for sugar snaps and this trellis seemed to fill the bill. However, the "Sugar Daddy" sugar snaps I planted weren't willing to climb on it. A friend pointed out that the willow supports might be too big for the pea tendrils because they would start to twine then curl away. I have added some thin but stiff wire supports to the trellis - so much for the attractiveness part - and the peas have started climbing. Other than using this for sugar snaps, I think this is a very nice and natural looking garden addition for climbing plants that will grow up supports that are a just a tiny bit larger than a pencil.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
We bought the large sized trellises for our green beans. They are attractive and easy to use, but there is no way to anchor them. I put them in the ground a couple of inches and when I took them out last fall, the bottoms were all rotten. I'm pretty disappointed in the quality because they won't last anymore than one more year.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
These are big, providing an attractive screen even though they don't have any vines (yet). They look sculptural in the garden, and I can't wait to see them with flowers. They are sturdier than I expected, and I think they will hold up well. Not sure how to keep them from tipping over, but overall, I am pleased.

I ordered this for my sweetpeas. I have a small garden. [...]. It was easy to put up. Really,,,3 seconds! It is also very well made and I know it will last a very long time! I think I will be ordering more.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am so glad I ordered these trellises. Just sorry I wasn't able to get the larger ones because they were sold out. I use them to protect plants from hungry deer.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I ordered this trellis to support a volunteer trumpet vine in our yard. So far it meets this need. I don't yet know how durable it will prove to be in the long run. It's a clever design and looks nice.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am using the trellis as a teepee over my birdbath to keep out the crows who drop milkbones in it, let them soften for awhile and then they come back and eat them. This makes the water very gurky so I am discouraging them from using the birdbath with the trellis. The small birds, jays and doves all can get through it and enjoy the bath. It is a startling addition to our back yard decor.
Teepee trellis
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Very pretty
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I purchased this product just because I liked the way it looked having no particular use for it at the time I ordered it. I placed it in my garden in spot that was bare, near my cucumber vines. The vines managed to climb the tower without my assistance. I am planning for next spring, to plant lettuce on the inside of the tower, with something...don't know what...on the outside that will cover the tower and provide shade for the lettuce. I really, really like the way the tower looks in my garden!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
climbing plants love this!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Bought trellis as birthday gift for amateur gardening daughter, she loves it. Couldn't decide on flowers, vegetable or decorating it with grape vine. Beans are happy on it this season. She hopes Santa drops another in her stocking for this Christmas, that will hold gourds.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love the way that the willow trellis looks in my vegetable garden, with or without a climbing plant. I'm using it this year for my nasturtiums and I know that they will look beautiful on the trellis. Next year, I will use it for my sweet peas. It's a beautiful addition to my garden and I absolutely love it!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I like the idea of having something different on which to grow twining flowers such as sweet peas. I also like the ability to change the shape from short to tall depending upon the plant I am using.

Anything that grows a vine will look stunning on this trellis. Vegetables stay cleaner, are easier to harvest, flowers become show stoppers.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I purchased this to use with my cucumbers. I do not have a regular garden area but am confined to containers. I have an oval shaped plastic bucket that I've poked a couple of holes in for drainage and planted 6 cucumber plants. I placed the willow trellis over this and the little cukes are climbing upwards very nicely. I'd tried using a homemade lattice type thing for the cukes in the past but they didn't take to it at all. This is working out great!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
UP close the material is starting to get black spots on it. I couldn't see it keeping it's color for long. BUt otherwise, NIce to look at while it last. I may have to try putting to coat of something over it to revamp it next season. not too expensive
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Originally purchased for my clematis but decided to "hide" a corner of the potting shed using my super trellis with a mandevilla. It is big enough to create a statement but small enough to not overpower. Love the ease of setup and ability to make it tall or short depending on your creativity.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love how it looks in my ganden. I use it for all my flowering vines. ie sweet peas and cypress vines.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I bought 2 willow trellises for my vegetable garden, which are in raised beds. They are terrific! We had a lot of wind this spring and they stayed put.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
It just adds a stylish function to my urban garden.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This is perfect for vertical design to the garden. I have Italian beans and cukes climbing, but perfect for trellising vining plants of any kind.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
The trellis is lightweight as others have noted but we've easily anchored it in a raised bed. The pole beans are happily climbing up the many legs. We've also gotten compliments on its appearance.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love this trellis. I put it over my clemitis. The plant attached and was fully in bloom, purple flowers all over. It looked gorgeous from all angles.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Looks great as a natural focal point in my garden.Great conversation piece.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am using the trellis for my Moon flowers and morning glories.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Morning Glories, Sweet Peas, and climbing daisies
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I found it hard to push into the ground so it didn't fall over.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
My neighbor ordered some after seeing my garden! The peas and beans love them especially. Clematis would enjoy too, I bet. Better bury them well since the wind will take them down. I do wonder how long they will last.
Peas & Carrots!

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am thrilled with this item! This looks really lovely in our flower garden. I also purchased stakes with it to hold it down, because it is so light that a heavy wind could blow it away.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
My beans are not quite high enough & haven't started sending out their tendrils to be able to keep the expandable trellis on the grounded in wind. It is nice to look at & is very easy to open up.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I use this trellis to provide support for a favorite clematis. I've tried several ideas, but this has worked the best. It is simple in design, and does not upstage the plantings around it. Clematis vines accept it to climb on. It has tended to blow over, though, with windy days, so I use three stakes from an old tent to hold it down. Works great.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I have been searching for just the right thing to grow my summer peas... I have most of them in my Earth Boxes but this year I am doing those and more in the ground ( we LOVE peas) - I have searched every home and garden store for Just the right thing. I have found nothing and what I did find was very expensive. I found this and with the addition of the earth spikes (a necessity) from this site as well, voila! I have the PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL and economical tower for my peas! This is NICELY made, ships in a very small box and will store in a small area. What more could you want?
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I ordered 2 of your tallest trellises; one for our vegetable garden and one for one of our flower beds. My husband and I have 2 raised veggie garden beds and to conserve space I planted peas around one of the trellises. The peas are now vining up the sides and they are a show piece in our garden. The other trellis in our flower garden has pole beans started at the base with some Hollyhocks planted inside the perimeter. Our friends who have seen these lovely trellises have asked where they can buy them and, of course, I give them your website. The price was so reasonable and they are just lovely! Thank you so much for your wonderful products.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Very pleased with this product. I bought all three sizes and they make a great display in my vegie garden.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Pole beans. Don't have to create my own tepee. It's very attractive and easy to set up.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Added willow trellises to wine barrels to provide vertical height and decor element to flower garden. Like the flexibility of expandable diameter for use in any size container! Not sure how many growing seasons product will endure due to material.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
My beans have only just started growing but I'm looking forward to watching them climb the trellise.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
It makes a nice center piece in my flower garden. It's the only lawn art my husband will let me have.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
The expandable willow trellis looks so good in my new garden. I can't wait to have my beans grow on it!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Glad I got them all. Make things look unified, pretty and functional. I anchored them down to the ground so they would not tip/ blow over
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I hoped to have clematis growing over it but it keeps on blowing over.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
once I got it set in place with supports it worked.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
The ONLY reason these did not get five stars was "functional design", meaning the trellises should come with landscaping staples to hold them to the ground. I had to go buy some. These are beautiful and are holding up pole beans nicely. They give a heightened rustic accent to an otherwise flat garden!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I bought this to help display my rambling roses. There are several plants arranged in a circle, and I placed the trellis in the center. The trellis adjusts to any size needed, and it is easy to attach the roses to it. I did need to peg down the trellis, as the strong winds tried to carry it away.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
alot of people have commented how nice they look
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This trellis is perfect for my Clematis, which have already twined around it!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love to use trellised vines in my garden. By installing the large willow trellis between shrubs or large perennials color and verticality is added with only using a small amount of garden space. With the variety of beautiful vines in Florida the trellis stay out all year. However we have hurricanes and strong winds so it is necessary to secure them to the ground. I drove six tent stakes into the ground around the perimeter of the trellis and fastened the stake to the trellis with tie raps. At pruning time the stakes are pulled up, I lay the trellis down and hard prune the vine and reinstall the trellis. Very happy with the trellis.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I can't wait to see my beans climbing up this and adding a decorative touch to the garden
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I used it to grow beans the first year. I took it out this year and it began to snap as well as looking pretty worn. I can handle the looks but when it snaps, it becomes useless.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Going to use them for my pole beans. I love the way I can determine the size of them - and that they are so flexible.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Thank you for having wonderful products.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I ordered this trellis for my pole beans. When it arrived, I opened it in the living room, and was amazed at how beautiful it is. Almost too pretty to cover with vines! A lovely work of art to complement my garden. this trellis is sturdy enough to support my bean plants. A great find!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love the natural look and ease of use of this expandable trellis. It's perfect for a circle of sweet peas or beans.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
We had a hard time getting the trellis to hold up to the wind. Finally anchored it down. We used it for pole beans and it didn't hold up well at all. We had two trellises and both snapped under the weight of the beans. We've owned a similar type of trellis in the past(a little different design) and were able to get many seasons out of them so very disappointed that these lasted less than one season.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This was one of the three different methods for growing green beans that we tried in 2009. Our goal was to see it growing the beans on this product, the net fencing, or a string based contraption would !)grow beans, 2)help reduce the mosquito population that likes to live in the foliage when we grow the beans as bush beans in a row. We think the pole bean seeds were mostly at fault for the mediocre crop we got.
This particular product has too many stakes, and that made it too "tight" at the top. With all the stakes that were part of the trellis, it was hard to pick the beans.
We are going back to planting our green beans in rows. We are going to think of another way to use the trellis.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
No more bamboo sticks that break under the weight of flowers or vegetables
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I plan to use it for a vine that I purchased. I love the flexibility. I'll see whether It's durable when next summer comes.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I just purchased this in the fall but my plan is to use the trellis to grow morning glories on next summer. I think it will be perfect!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I have a lot of vines as ground cover in my garden. I love the vines but felt that my garden needed a little "oomph" It's usually windy here so I secured the expandable trellis to the ground with earth staples. The vines steadily crept up the sides of the trellis. I now have something special in my garden adding a new dimension to the look! I haven't had one problem with the trellis blowing over.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
We just opened it up. It spread out, we slipped in some sticks on the opposite angle so it wouldn't blow away and the plants loved it!
We got 3 sizes to make a picturesque design as we are a B&B and the breakfast nook window is within 25 feet of it!
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am using my willow trellis to grow beans on. Just wish I had the larger one. Will purchase some when you get them back in stock.

Product is really easy to use. It looks really good in the garden. I have pole beans climbing it.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Very good on flat ground. It is unsuitable for slopping ground.
Where installed the soil should be loose and not packed.
Excellent for creating a rustic look.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
What a nice product, can't wait to find something to climb it. Well made, love the collapsibility for storage.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Used in the garden and over a container with moon flowers and morning glories.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
If you are looking for a natural-looking garden trellis (as opposed to fancy structural things) then these are as good as it gets. A little flimsy (reflected in the price I guess) and only time will tell how long they last, but first impressions are good. Nice that they come in three sizes for a little variety.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Such a lovely added feature to my cottage garden.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
My clematis thrives on this. Good to use wth anything that needs to climb. Frist year using it, not sure how long the willow will withstand the elements. So far doing great, even with all the rain we have had this season.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I purchased one for a trumpet vine and it looks so beautiful and practical that I am going to purchase different sizes for my gardens.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I really like the look of this willow trellis in my garden. The pole beans that I planted around it are only a couple of inches high so I can't rate the longevity nor effectiveness of this item yet. I did stick some bamboo stakes around to secure it as I thought that the wind would knock it over at some point.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I have perennial sweetpeas that I love but need to manage or they climb all over my roses. I tried a willow trellis and it's great - I actually want to buy 2 more.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am using it for my perennial sweet pea. The sweet pea looks really beautiful and is not flopping all over my garden. I purchased 10 inch staples to keekp it in place.

The trellis has tamed my sweet pea. It looks really beautiful. I purchased the 10 inch staples to keep it in place.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Using them in a "Heritage garden" for climbing morning glories and confederate jasmine among cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, indigo and sunflower plants. Adds a "historic" feel to design.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Its very easy to expand & collapse to whatever size is needed. Also is made sturdy enough to be able to push it into the ground to anchor it a little. Looks attractive even if no vine is growing up it.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This is a such an attractive addition to my garden! I had to secure it with a couple bamboo stakes, but they blended in with the willow so it looked fine. I did have to put plastic trellis about it so the plants had something to grab onto, but the peas look like they love it! I would think a natural climber could wind around the willow stakes themselves.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I bought one last year and loved it, so I got another this year. However, now I've noticed that the bottom of some of the legs have broken off which is a disappointment. I would have expected them to last much longer for the money.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Used it for climbing beans
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
The Bamboo i had save for this year to build a trellis was destroyed when i went to get it, in a hurry i bought 4 of these trellises and am amazed at how well they work, they are light weight so i tied some strong line to 4 sides and staked them down due to strong winds in our area, and they have not moved... i love these things
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I was looking for a solution for my beans which are in a somewhat tight area & this works perfectly because of the expandability to meet the space.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Really like that the structure can be used as a focal point in a combined vegetable/flower garden for climbing bean, pea, or flower vines. Must be anchored or firmly planted in soil to withstand winds until the vines can anchor it. I have a medium and tall trellis in my front yard and the climbing runner beans are growing all over it.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I was worried about how well product would hold up in winds - so I used a piece of pvc pipe and put it diagonally through the bottom of trellis in my 3"x3' raised bed. Would probably be supported as well by long garden staples.
Winds have been strong this spring - but the trellis is holding on!
Will probably purchase more.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I'm using this expandable trellis for my pole beans...another great space-saving idea for the garden. Like the design and the expandable frame (i.e. easy to store). It does blow over in the wind so will have to come up with some way to anchor it into the ground. Would also be nice with clematis or some other vining, flowering plant.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I find these very attractive in my veggie garden. however, there is no way to anchor them in the ground. At least not included in the package. So I happened to have some bamboo stakes in the shed which I threaded through the trellises and drove into the ground to keep the trellises from blowing away. so far so good and we've had some pretty good spring storms. Jury is still out on how well they work on the peas and cucumbers I hope they will support.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This is almost impossible to set up. I gave up and put it away in the basement. I wanted to use it in a raised bed as a support for pole beans, but I ended up buying an obelisk instead.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Perfect for beans, hops, clematis, anything that climbs...sturdy enough for cucumbers too. They lend a graceful shape to the yard or garden, and provide shade for more delicate plants. We use them to extend our lettuce and spinach later into the summer and get our fall crops started earlier!

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I purchased this product to cover a well cap and to support clematis and hyacinth bean vines. I've only had it out a few weeks and it looks nice and my vines really like to climb. I did have to use earth staples to support this trellis to the ground.

Beautiful

We are using the Expandable Trellis as a grape arbor one arbor per vine. Wraping the vine around the arbor.

I use this to support my Wisteria vine- Everyone asks me all the time where I get all my garden accessories- I love this trellis because it not only is strong enough to support the Wisteria but it adds an element that is appealing to the eye-
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love the look of the the willow trellises....but wish they had included some kind of stakes to secure them in the ground. They will be down the street when the first thunderstorm hits. I look forward to 'securing' them and watching them age in color and blend in to the woods..

My garden is an 8'X 8'X 8'cage because I live within a national park and the all the animals would never let me have a regular garden.
This is going to be so much easier to grow things UPWARD. Can't wait.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
we have a small backyard garden and this trellis is perfect. We like the fact that it's not permanent so we can move it from year to year. It also adds an attractive focal point to the yard.

I'm growing tomatoes in containers and these easily surround the containers. Using with both determinant and indeterminant tomatoes. Am not sure if I purchased tall enough ones for the indeterminant tomatoes, but will find out. Easy and quick to put in place

Using to grow legumes

As soon as the weather is right I will be planting Kentucky Wonder green beans to climb the trellis. I really like its organic appearance. Looks great in one of my many raised beds.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This looks just like in the catalog, and I think it will be very pretty once my morning glorys grow onto it. I was somewhat disappointed in its construction, I really don't think it will last more than one season. It's only put together with tiny little rice size nails. To make it work like it does, they probably didn't have much choice in its construction. Very pretty and different and if $20+ is worth a pretty display for you for a year or two, go for this one :-)
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
These are nice but you should know that the medium ones are BIG and they only stay up with garden stakes, otherwise very nice product.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love how neatly they fit in my deck pots. I use them for my sweat peas. They are so pretty...much better than the ugly wire trellis.

To keep them grounded, I purchased inexpensive precut iron rebar pieces, from local Lowe's. Simply place the rebar into the base at a crossing of the willow, at an angle. Pound them into the ground at several spots around the base, and this will keep them anchored. Also,the rustic rebar will not show as your plants grow. I simply remove the rebar when putting the trellis away for the winter and will re-insert them again in the spring when placed in the garden.

Going to put it outside my kitshen window and grow morning glories this year.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I bought two of these thinking they would be perfect to protect my newly planted mountain ash trees from the hungry, roaming wildlife. My purpose was not for support but for protection. They were very attractive,and functional, when they stood upright, but the wind constantly blew them over all summer. I did love the look of them,and the ability to "stretch" as my trees grew, however, by the time my trees reached the fall season,the willow was so destroyed by all the "blow-overs" I had to trash them. I only wish these were made sturdier to face natures elements. I do think they would work well for their original purpose,if made just slightly more durable
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Purchased this for sweet peas in the winter and my pole beans in the summer. My patch is in front of my lounge window so I wanted something attractive that would be a great support and this fits the bill perfectly. Folds up neatly when not is use too - a real winner for both big and small gardens.

I intent to use the trellis to shore up a rather wild looking rose bush. Have to wait until it stops flowering, will cut it back then and add the trellis for better control next year.

LOVE this product!
I searched for several season to find well built and attractive bamboo tee pees tall enough to support large tomato vines. This product looks great in our English style garden. It is strong, light weight, easy to store, and cost effective to use. We use it on tomatoes, peppers, clematis, and other vining plants. The only difficulty was weighting it down. High winds will blow it over until the vines attach. I not only recommend this product I plan on giving them as gifts to fellow gardeners

This is a great trellis for morning glories, sweet peas, or any other climbing annuals.

Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am using the free standing trellis to support a passion flower vine. The trellis itself is attractive and functional and makes a decorative support for any fast growing vine. I plan to order at least one more.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
i live in a windy area and the wind kept blowing it over. if there was something to make it go deeper into the ground, it might work
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I absolutely love these. I'm using mine for cucumber plants in planters and they're working out perfect. Can't wait to get more next year and plant morning glories.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I gave this as a b'day gift to my daughter who is an avid gardener. She used them to start her beans for her vegetable garden. She was very pleased with the gift.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
it was so easy to place in my garden, I used them to corral my baby french round zuccini. Not only was the trellis effective I recieved so many compliments on how amazing it looked.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This trellis looks wonderful in the flower garden and has gotten many, many comments by the visitors to our home
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This product added height and visual interest to my vegetable garden. Even my teenaged son commented on how they looked "neat" (translation - Wow, those are amazing, what are they, they look so good!)
Would link product info to an anchoring pin or landscape stake or something else you sell that would keep the product from toppling over in a light wind or under the weight of a heavy bearing tomato vine.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I love the willow trellises. I bought four and are using them to display my Confederate Jasmine. I had cut the plants way back and I'm now training them to go around the trellis. I have gotten so many comments on how unique they are. I painted them the color of my house and they make a great addition to my landscaping. I'm so glad I found them.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Looks lovely in the veggie garden with climbing beans. I also planted lettuce on the inside so it is shaded by the beans and cuts down on weeds.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I put an old pot full of dirt in the middle, threw in some scarlet runner bean seeds, and in a month I had a lovely, tall 'shrub' screening a bare fence. I'll be buying more of these! They are so charming.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
This trellis provides an adequate and attractive support for large tomato plants or climbing vines like cucumbers.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Provides a beautiful and inexpensive focal point with or without plants. I am growing morning glories and pole beans and so far so good. Only negative was I had to add some tent stakes to keep it in place.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
The trellis really creates a nice decorative touch to my garden. Even without being covered in vines, it is quite attractive. I have two large trellises. One is used for supporting string beans in my vegetable garden. The other will be a lovely support for my morning glory vines. The biggest drawback to the design, is getting the trellis firmly and evenly grounded. Without the use of long metal garden staples, the trellises regularly topple over.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I bought two to grow beans: one for myself and one as gift. We both love them! Looks atractive and make the beans easy to reach.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
My peas and pole beans are doing better than ever. Makes it easy to pick them.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I got this expandable trellis to replace a small tripod trellis for my sweet peas. The new trellis is quite a nice addition to my flower garden because it's different from anything else I have. It was easy to use and the sweet peas love it! The only problem is that it will blow over in some of the heavy winds we've had this summer. I plan to get some tent stakes to anchor it into the group.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I am using my expandable willow trellis for a display rack for tote bags at the local Farmer's Market. It displays them beautifully.
And people love the trellis. Can I buy them wholesale and sell them?
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
I wanted tp grpw scarlet beans on this trellis, then found I had no such seeds left, nor did the garden store. So I bought climbing nasturtium seedlings, and they're doing just fine. The best thing about this climber is that it looks beautiful even with nothing climbing on it. In my garden that's always a possibility.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
Makes a very picturesque feature to the flower or vegetable garden. Liked the fact they could be moved up or down to suit individual plantings.
Comments about Expandable Willow Trellises:
My vines loved it, this is the first time in 3 years they have climbed and bloomed like crazy
