Abstract
A plant cover device comprises an enclosure having mesh material to define a plant-receiving cavity. The enclosure includes a first mesh section having a closed top end, and a first perimeter opposite the closed top end, and a second mesh section having a second perimeter attached to the first perimeter of the first mesh section, and a bottom end opposite the closed top end of the first mesh section defining a trunk receiving opening. The plant cover device also includes a support extending vertically from a ground surface through the first and second perimeters and to abut the closed top end of the enclosure.
Claims24
An individual plant cover device comprising:
- an enclosure having mesh material to define a plant-receiving cavity therein and comprising
- a first mesh section having
- a closed top end, and
- a first perimeter opposite the closed top end, and
- a second mesh section having
- a second perimeter being integral with the first perimeter of the first mesh section, the first perimeter and the second perimeter partially defining the plant-receiving cavity, and
- a bottom end opposite the closed top end of the first mesh section defining a trunk receiving opening;
- and
- a support comprising a stake having a first end adjacent a ground surface, and a second end opposite the first end to abut the closed top end of the enclosure, the stake extending vertically through the first and second perimeters and being adjacent a plant.
An individual plant cover assembly comprising:
- a single plant;
- a support extending vertically from a ground surface adjacent the single plant;
- and
- an enclosure to be positioned over the support and the single plant, the enclosure having mesh material to define a plant-receiving cavity therein and comprising
- a first mesh section having
- a closed top end, and
- a first perimeter opposite the closed top end, and
- a second mesh section having
- a second perimeter being integral with the first perimeter of the first mesh section, the first perimeter and the second perimeter partially defining the plant-receiving cavity, and
- a bottom end opposite the closed top end of the first mesh section defining a trunk receiving opening;
- the support comprising a stake having a first end adjacent the ground surface, and a second end opposite the first end to abut the closed top end of the enclosure, the stake extending vertically through the first and second perimeters.
A method of covering a plant with an individual plant cover device, the method comprising:
- providing the individual plant cover device with an enclosure comprising enclosure having mesh material to define a plant-receiving cavity therein, the enclosure comprising
- a first mesh section having a closed top end, and a first perimeter opposite the closed top end, and
- a second mesh section having
- a second perimeter being integral with the first perimeter of the first mesh section, the first perimeter and the second perimeter partially defining the plant-receiving cavity, and
- a bottom end opposite the closed top end of the first mesh section defining a trunk receiving opening;
- positioning the plant within the individual plant cover device by lowering the enclosure over the plant through the trunk receiving opening;
- and
- suspending the enclosure with a support comprising a stake having a first end adjacent a ground surface, and a second end opposite the first end to abut the closed top end of the enclosure, the stake extending vertically through the first and second perimeters.
An individual plant cover device comprising:
- an enclosure having mesh material to define a plant-receiving cavity therein and comprising
- a first mesh section having
- a closed top end, and
- a first perimeter opposite the closed top end, and
- a second mesh section having
- a second perimeter being integral with the first perimeter of the first mesh section, the first perimeter and the second perimeter partially defining the plant-receiving cavity, and
- a bottom end opposite the closed top end of the first mesh section defining a trunk receiving opening, the mesh material comprising material that is water permeable and permits light transmissivity;
- and
- a support extending vertically from a ground surface, through the first and second perimeters and to abut the closed top end of the enclosure.
