Trellis Hook

$127.00

This is the Hook (Qlipr) Trellising System for lowering tomatoes or cucumbers without ladders, step ladders or stilts. Tomatoes are lowered from a comfortable standing position. Cleanup of the crop is also made much easier as there are only two clips to remove.

Each plant requires one hook and two clips for tomatoes or three clips for cucumbers.

Hooke are zinc coated steel for a lifetime of use. 

Hook and Wicket

Fast and Easy Trellising

Hook and Wicket

This system was developed at Neversink Farm by adapting proven large scale systems for the small scale grower.

You can combine Wickets with any vine lowering system (Qlipr Hooks, Roller Hooks and TomaHooks) to convert a lower and lean system to The Hook and Wicket.

Leaning causes stress to the plant and your trellis support. Also the fruit just ends up on the ground anyway.

When you incorporate wickets, leaning is unnecessary and trellising is much easier and faster. Your tomatoes are off the ground and easy to harvest.

"If your workers are on ladders or step stools when trellising then you are burning money" - Conor Crickmore

Labor Saving

High Efficiency

Conor switched Neversink Farm to this system more than a decade ago and has never looked back. Conor was looking to greatly increase production of his tomatoes. The major hurdle was that he and the workers were spending far too long trellising and lowering tomatoes every week. The Qlipr system solved that and now in just half a day one person can trellis the entire tomato house which is 100'x30'.
