I have Spagetti Squash, honeydew, Sugar Baby Watermellon, and cantalope
on trellis. I have some heavy duty trellis though! It's rigging net of
some sort (strings are about 1/8 inch nylon) streched on 4x4s. I make
sure that each developing fruit goes through a hole in the net so that
the weight is taken up on the crook in the heavier stem that attaches to
the fruit.
