Stormy, I still can't figure out which on-line vender I bought my wire cages from.
But I at least figured I could post a picture of them including the name.
Then maybe you can google a source faster than I can find mine.
Here are 3 of the various sizes of cages. (I didn't take a picture of the biggest.)
You're supposed to plant the plant with the cage surrounding the roots, to prevent gopher damage.
As you may recall, I don't use mine the way they're meant,
but use them as plant covers to protect from Bambi and Thumper.
I use them for a couple years until the plant is established, then they're on their own.
It has remarkably increased my success rate, since the wildlife otherwise is relentless.

Edited to explain the available sizes are 1, 3, and 5 gallon, as well as a even bigger one meant for trees.
The 1 and 3 gallon are the same depth; the 3 gallon is just bigger around.
The 5 gallon is both deeper and bigger around.
