A movable stake for one or more branches in a plant cultivation, in which at least a part of the branches are buried in the cold season, the movable stake wherein it is constituted by a deformable element onto which the branches to be buried are engaged, the deformable element has a first free end and a second end anchored in the ground, the first free end is apt to be alternately engaged in the ground or onto a horizontal wire for supporting the branches of the plant cultivation.
Method to handle one or more branches in a plant cultivation, by burying at least a part of said branches, wherein the branches to be buried are coupled to a movable stake formed of a deformable element, said deformable element having a first free end comprising a hook and a second end anchored to the ground, said branches during the cold season are buried in the ground by rotating them together with the deformable element and engaging said first free end in the ground and then covering the branches and the deformable element with earth, while in the warm season, the branches are dug out together with the deformable element from the earth covering them and are hooked to the plant cultivation supporting wire of plant cultivation by rotating them together with the movable stake so that the first free end engages said supporting horizontal wire by means of said hook.
