Nets?, Cage?, Stakes?
I tried the net thing but plants grew to far over it and flopped over. I'm thinking a PVC frame on a pulley system will work better.

What are you guy using to support your large trees? Post up some pics if you can.

My tallest are 12 foot my shortest are 8 foot. I used a combination of 6 foot vertical stakes, 12 foot tri pods, 6 foot tripods with netting over everything and zip ties to the stakes. I used all 12 foot strapping ripped in half to get 2 pieces out of every piece. Once the plant out grew the first layer of trellis I put that big a frame over everything and tied netting to it. Next year gotta add a roof for the rain after flowering starts. Good luck.

See what happens when you put the net up too soon.

Chicken wire on the ceiling and plant yo yo`s hung above each limb that needs spread and opened up while supporting the weight as the plants swell.....

We usedta use plant twine , but yo yo`s work better it`s just they`re a pain in the ass to constantly adjust , although the twine was no cake walk to readjust either....just the trials and tribulations of growing big plants.....anyways....

Good luck....DHF.........

You really just need another layer of trellis about a foot higher. That will take care of the flopping.
