Vineyard & Orchard Trellising

Trade names.

Vineyard growers and trellis crews across the US call the same anchor or stake differently: a trellis post in California is a trellising post in Washington, and Spanish-speaking workers call it un poste de espaldera. This page lists the names used by American vineyards and trellis suppliers, and Spanish terms on US vineyard sites, each linked to the GV vineyard and orchard product it describes.

Find a trellis component by the name your vineyard uses.

Every name here was checked against a US trellis supplier, California viticulture guide or regional vineyard reference. Where a region uses a broader or different word, it is left off, so each name points to one product.
