basket pin / basket stake
I took a look at the URL mentioned by medabs. See below:
http://www.benfried.com/productaanbod/druppelsyteem.html.
After al it seems to me quite likely that the word meant by asker is a kind of “basket pin” or “basket stake” showed to us by medabs , that could have names like : Cobra stekers, Rapier steker, Korfpen, Klemsteker, Prevopen
If this would be the case the points should go to medabs of course.

hanging basket watering system / hanging basket drippers
Netafim USA Hanging Basket Drippers all flow precisely the same, regardless of the length of tube (unlike lead weight drippers). This means several lengths of drippers can be combined on the same line, with each dripper emitting precisely the same amount of water.

The project is based at the University of Hawaii Magoon
horticultural facility and utilizes a novel basket cultivation
system based upon experimentation by Hawaii awa growers.
This system allows for the close monitoring of irrigation,
fertilizer rates and the amount of sunlight. Its greatest
advantage is that it facilitates the sampling of roots. The
basket is simply opened, pieces of root excised and
then the basket re-sealed. At the end of the project, the
importance of light, fertilization and pruning will be
established and cultural practices optimized so that
kavalactone content can be maximized.

Woodpecker Stake
I'm not entirely sure of this, but...
There are different types of irrigation systems (ref. http://www.benfried.com/productaanbod/druppelsyteem.html) provides a description of them in Dutch with pictures. One particular type is known as the Woodpecker system it has a particular type of stake - which in Dutch is known as the korfsteker. The English webpages refer to this simply as the Woodpecker stake. So you could use either Woodpecker stake or just stake.
ref. http://www.alternativegarden.com/site/irrigation/page3.html, shows the system, and if you compare components from both sources you'll see they're identical.
:-)
Hope this helps!

: I think you'll find that Woodpecker is an irrigation system brand name.
