• You will need to tie the vine around the stake as it grows. Cages do not require as much tying.
• Do not use a plastic or vinyl cage. It is toxic to plants and can expose them to lead.
• Keeping the plants off of the ground promotes air circulation for cleaner and healthier fruit.
• You can also use cages and stakes together. The stakes should be placed in the center of the cages.
• It is important to find a large metal cage because the vines grow quickly and may outgrow a smaller cage quickly.
