Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a support for engaging the trunk at the butt end of a cut tree and for holding upright the tree; it comprises a cylindrical body in which is positioned the butt end of the tree and which displays a transverse horizontal slot extending about half the cross section of the body. A U-shaped yoke has its intermediate straddle portion received in the slot and its two threaded leg portions extending along either side of the body and protruding through a pair of openings in a saddle member; a pair of nuts are used to tighten the U-shaped yoke and the saddle member so that the tree may be tightly secured in an upright position in the cylindrical body.
