ABSTRACT:
An upwardly opening shallow tray is provided constructed of shape retentive and at least somewhat deformably resilient material. The tray includes a bottom wall and upstanding peripheral walls extending about and projecting upwardly from the outer periphery of the bottom wall. An upright post is also provided including upper and lower end portions and the lower end portion is diametrically enlarged and includes a generally planar under surface downwardly abutted against the central area of the upper surface of the bottom. The post under surface includes a plurality of generally concentric and circular sealing ridges of different diameters projecting slightly downwardly therefrom forcibly, downwardly and sealingly seated against and deforming opposing portions of the upper surface of the bottom wall to form a fluid-tight seal therewith. An elongated headed and threaded shank-type fastener is secured upwardly through the central area of the bottom wall and is removably threadedly engaged in a downwardly opening threaded bore provided in the lower end portion of the post. The upper end portion of the post may be snugly received in a central downwardly opening blind bore formed in the base end of the trunk of a cut tree to be supported within the tray and the post includes upwardly facing and outwardly projecting abutment surfaces disposed at an elevation above the upper surface of the bottom wall and below the lowest upper marginal portion of the peripheral wall for abutting with the lower end of the tree trunk about the bore formed therein.
