ABSTRACT:
An upwardly extending post is welded at its lower end to a base ring and is inclined for holding a depending bar at an inner portion of the ring. The depending bar has a bottom horizontal foot plate that extends integrally therefrom. This foot plate carries a reinforcing wedge plate and a set pin. In attaching a tree to the holder, the wedge plate engages the tree trunk radially and the set pin engages the tree trunk at the bottom in laterally spaced relation from the wedge plate, thus providing a two point engagement that prevents twisting of the tree in the holder. A single cinching crank screw is mounted in an upper portion of the depending bar for penetrating the tree and pulling the tree tightly against the depending bar.
