tomato cage

Garden vine frame

A tomato cage is a wire frame placed around a tomato plant to support its stems as it grows, keeping fruit off the ground.

The conical or cylindrical structures are garden staples.

Beyond gardening, tomato cages serve as armatures for DIY projects—wrapped in lights for Christmas decorations or fabric for craft figures.
