ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for holding a tree erect while supplying the tree with water. A container that comprises a blend of ethylene-vinyl acetate and high density polyethylene is molded. The bottom of the trunk of the tree is placed adjacent to the inside bottom of the container. A tree support, such as a pair of wooden cross-members, is placed adjacent the outside bottom of the container so that at least a portion of the tree support is in registry with the tree trunk bottom. Fasteners, such as nails, are driven through the tree support, through the container bottom and into the tree trunk. This fastens the tree securely to the container and tree support. The material of the container seals the openings around nails to thereby prevent water leakage from the container.
