Looking for a fuchsia "hat"

9 years ago

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum and am going to be growing several standard fuchsia trees. I am looking for the metal wire top (bonnet or hat) that is anchored to the upright post. This is for stability of the fuchsia as it blooms at the top. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Dean

I know the thing you mean although I can't help you find one and I've never seen them used for fuchsias. However, I assume you know that you can grow standard fuchsias perfectly well without any framework other than a stake?

Here is a link that might be useful: Growing a standard fuchsia.

If you can't find one, you can make one pretty easily. Just invert a standard wire 'bowl' used for hanging baskets over the top of a wooden stake you will be using to train your fuchsia tree. Anchor as desired. Make sure to remove any of the hanger appliances :-))
