What is a "trellis"?
A trellis is a framework or structure, typically made of wood, metal, or plastic, used to support climbing plants or vines. It consists of intersecting slats or bars arranged in a grid-like pattern. Trellises are commonly placed against walls, fences, or freestanding in gardens, allowing plants like roses, ivy, or tomatoes to grow upwards and spread out. They help plants grow in an organized and controlled way, saving space and creating an attractive vertical display. Trellises are often used for decorative purposes as well as for practical support.
