ABSTRACT:
A Christmas tree stand including an intergal frustum-shaped shell and coaxial tree trunk receptacle. The frustum shell includes an annular flat support surface for engaging a floor surface through a full 360.degree. contact area around the tree trunk. A small central contact surface is also provided at the bottom of the tree trunk receptacle, centered within the confines of the annular support surface. The stand is preferably formed of synthetic resin and includes radial bores extending from the shell to open within the receptacle for receiving threaded thumbscrews. The thumbscrews can be turned to tap the radial bores and to extend radially into the receptacle for clamping against the trunk of a tree held therein.
