Abstract: A system for supporting lines of trees growing in pots includes poles supported in an upright position, with a first cable running between pairs of poles. Tree trunks are attached to the first cable with a device that includes a length of helical cable, a second cable, that is adapted for mating with the first cable, formed into a “V” shape. A pair of deformable cylinders, one having a longitudinal slit, are included. The slit cylinder is positionable over the first cable on a first side of the tree trunk. The second cylinder is threaded onto the second cable into a notch section thereof, and placed on a second side of the tree trunk. The two arms of the second cable are wound about the first cable on opposite sides of the tree trunk to prevent slippage therebetween, leaving at least one end free for ease of disconnect.

Abstract: Provided here is a tubing connector having a body that has a first end, having a first opening and a second end having a second opening. A passageway extends through the body between the first opening and the second opening. A side opening including a first side wall, and opposing second side wall and a latch catch disposed between the first and second side walls extends from the passageway through the body. The body also has a cannula extending into the passageway from the first end toward the second end. The side opening is disposed between the cannula and the second end. The connector also has a clamping member, having a first clamping end that is hingedly connected to the body and a second clamping end that is adapted to releasably engage the latch catch. A clamp portion is disposed between the first clamping end and the second clamping end.
