ABSTRACT:
A tree anchoring device includes an upright elongated support rod having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart foot members at the lower end thereof. Each foot member includes an outwardly directed first prong and a downwardly directed second prong adapted for insertion into the ground to provide wide base support for the upstanding rod. A pair of diverging contact fingers extend outwardly from the support rod for receiving a tree trunk therebetween and supporting the tree trunk in spaced relation from the support rod. The contact fingers define a generally V-shaped channel having an open side through which the tree trunk is received. Furthermore, the contact fingers may be formed of a resilient spring material and be releasably clamped together onto the support rod so as to be vertically adjustable thereon.
