ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a remote Christmas tree watering system. Incorporated in the system is a traditional Christmas tree stand having a chamber, a plurality of support legs, and means, such as eye bolts for holding the Christmas tree within the chamber. The chamber further includes a spigot at its bottom surface for accepting a hose. The hose is attached at its other end to a reservoir remote from the Christmas tree stand. By this, the remote reservoir can continuously provide water to the Christmas tree stand, without the need to climb under the Christmas tree. In addition, a decorative outer enclosure, such as a gift wrapped box, can be positioned around the remote reservoir to add to the aesthetically pleasing nature of the scene. Further, the reservoir can be completely emptied and reconnected to the Christmas tree stand to drain the remaining water from the Christmas tree stand when it is time to remove the Christmas tree from the Christmas tree location, thus obviating the known drawbacks of carrying a Christmas tree stand with water in it. In a second preferred embodiment, the hose attached to the spigot is attached to the upper end of the chamber of the Christmas tree stand such that a visible indication of the water level within the stand is given by viewing the water level within the hose, the hose being clear.
