PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a planted tree supporting structure capable of further firmly supporting the root clump of a planted tree and to provide a supporting method for the planted tree.SOLUTION: A plurality of vertical strut members 3 are driven into a ground surface on which a root clump 1 of a tree T is mounted, along the peripheral surface of the root clump 1 within a recess 2 which is formed on the ground surface the upper parts of the vertical strut members 3 are tightened with a tightening member 10 along the side face of the root clump 1 and the side face of the root clump is sandwiched and pressurized by the vertical strut members 3. In a supporting structure for a planted tree which is firmly fixed in this way, catch members 20 are attached to positions which are lower than the fitting position of the tightening member 10 of the vertical strut members 3 and which are corresponding to the side face of the root clump 1, and the catch members 20 comprise holding parts which are firmly fixed to or restrained by the vertical strut members 3, and projection pieces which are integrally formed in the holding parts and projected into the side face of the root clump 1 at the time of tightening the vertical strut members 3 with the tightening members 10.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】一層強固に植栽樹木の根鉢を支持することができる植栽樹木の支持構造及びその方法を提供する。【解決手段】樹木Tの根鉢1を載置する地面に形成された凹部2内で根鉢1の周面に沿って複数打ち込まれる縦支柱部材3の上部を締付部材10で根鉢1の側面に沿って締め付けて縦支柱部材3で根鉢1の側面を挟圧するように固定してなる植栽樹木の支持構造において、縦支柱部材3の締付部材10の取付位置より下方で且つ根鉢1の側面に対応する個所にキャッチ部材20を取り付けてなり、キャッチ部材20が、縦支柱部材3に固定又は拘束される保持部と、保持部に一体に形成されて締付部材10による縦支柱部材3の締付時に根鉢1の側面に突入する突片とで構成される。【選択図】図1
