A tree stabilizer device for supporting young trees, shrubs, etc. The device includes a post adapted to have one end thereof inserted into the ground so as to extend upwardly substantially vertically therefrom; and an elongated support member having a first adjustable securing mechanism for securing the member to the post, and a second mechanism for securing the member to a tree. The first securing mechanism includes a slot defined through the member and shaped substantially to match a cross-section of the post, for insertion of the post therethrough. The second securing mechanism includes a substantially wedge-shaped section and a wedge for adjustable insertion therein so as to secure a portion of the tree between the wedge and the wedge-shaped section.
