ABSTRACT:
A Christmas tree stand includes a unitary H-frame consisting of four stub feet forming a cross-shape base and extending radially horizontally outwardly from each other, a pair of parallel upright stanchions extending integrally upwardly from intermediate portions of two adjacent feet, and an H-bar or horizontal reinforcing brace integrally connecting intermediate portions of the upright stanchions to each other. Four hollow foot extension shoes are telescopically mounted on the stub feet to make the stand and a tree mounted in it stable against tipping. Flexible tree trunk retaining straps fasten around upper and lower portions of the stanchions and around the tree trunk to hold the tree in an upright position. A water bucket having vertical side walls is part of the stand and is positioned between the trunk of the tree and the stanchions at the butt of the trunk so that the weight of the tree is supported on the butt in the bucket and the bucket is supported on the foot/shoe assemblies which rest directly on the supporting surface.
