ABSTRACT:
A holder for Christmas trees which includes a container supported above ground level, legs to support the weight of the tree attached to the container, and holding members extending from the legs. The container is provided with sharpened points or a spike upon which the tree base rests, and can hold a reservoir of water. The legs are mounted to the container so that as the weight of the tree depresses the container, the legs spread on the floor and the holding members are forced to engage the tree trunk and hold it in place. Springs are provided at the point at which the legs are attached to the container so that the container may set above ground level at rest position with the holding members spread wide enough to accommodate various tree trunk sizes. Alternatively, a resilient stabilizing member integral with the legs and extending over the rim and into the container is provided which acts similarly to the springs of the first embodiment to hold the legs open prior to tree insertion.
