Abstract

A tree holder bar and an inverted U-shaped support bar are welded at their lower ends to a circular base ring, leaving an open space to receive a water container. Upper portions of the two bars are welded together adjacent a downward bend in the tree holder bar, the lower extremity of which has an upturned point to be driven into the trunk of the tree. A V-shaped bracket adjacent the bend in the tree holder bar receives a pair of nails to be driven into the sides of the tree trunk. The tree holder bar is bendable to make the tree stand straight.
