Abstract
A tree rooting enclosure apparatus including a body housing with a cylindrical body base having a pair of opposing tapered ends culminating into a pair of opposing end openings. The body and end openings are structured to accommodate a portion of a plant therethrough. The body includes a plurality of exterior longitudinal channels extending the length of the cylindrical body base. The apparatus as a whole is made of two removably engaged elongate halves structured to surround a selected portion of a plant and attach to itself with a water-resistant fit around the selected portion of the plant.
Claims19
A tree rooting enclosure apparatus comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a cylindrical body base, and
- a pair of opposing tapered ends culminating into a pair of opposing end openings;
- a plurality of spindles extending outward from the exterior edges of the pair of opposing end openings;
- and
- a plurality of longitudinal channels extending the length of the cylindrical body base;
- wherein the spindles are at least one of alternating in length and terminated by bulbous ends;
- wherein the tree rooting enclosure apparatus is comprised of two removably engageable halves, each half being an identical duplicate of the other;
- wherein each half is configured to mate with the other half when each respective half is inversely oriented with respect to the other half;
- and
- wherein both halves when engaged envelop at least a portion of a tree branch to propagate a rooting system.
A tree rooting enclosure apparatus comprising:
- a first half enclosing member comprising:
- a semi-circular opening at opposing ends,
- a cylindrical body base comprising:
- a body taper at opposing ends extending to the semi-circular end openings,
- a plurality of spindles surrounding and extending outward from each of the semi-circular end opening exterior edges;
- a second half enclosing member comprising:
- a semi-circular medial opening at opposing ends,
- a cylindrical body base comprising:
- a body taper at opposing ends extending to the semi-circular end openings,
- a plurality of spindles surrounding and extending outward from each of the semi-circular end opening exterior edges;
- an internal body cavity,
- wherein the spindles are at least one of alternating in length and terminated b bulbous ends;
- wherein each half is an identical duplicate of the other;
- wherein each half is configured to mate with the other half when each respective half is inversely oriented with respect to the other half;
- wherein the first half enclosing member and second half enclosing member removably engage each other around a portion of a tree branch in a closed position to propagate a rooting system.
A tree rooting enclosure apparatus comprising:
- a first longitudinal half and a second longitudinal half comprising:
- a body with:
- a cylindrical body base, and
- a pair of opposing tapered ends culminating into a pair of opposing end openings;
- a plurality of longitudinal channels extending the length of the cylindrical body base exterior,
- an interior cavity comprising a plurality of longitudinal convex ridges formed by the plurality of longitudinal channels;
- a plurality of spindles extending outward from and surrounding each of the opposing end openings exterior edges;
- a perimeter tab extending outward from the first and second longitudinal halves comprising:
- a plurality of joinder pegs and a plurality of joinder holes;
- a pair of fastening dowels in staggered orientation extending from opposing surfaces;
- and
- a plurality of fastening apertures;
- wherein the spindles are at least one of alternating in length and terminated by bulbous ends;
- wherein the cylindrical body base diameter is proportional to the end opening diameters by a ratio of 2.5 to 1 respectively;
- wherein each half is an identical duplicate of the other;
- wherein each half is configured to mate with the other half when each respective half is inversely oriented with respect to the other half;
- and
- wherein the first longitudinal half and second longitudinal half removably engage each other around a portion of a tree branch in a closed position to propagate a rooting system.
