ABSTRACT:
A live tree whose trunk has been cut from its roots is supported on a stand and continuously watered from a vessel associated with the stand. A conical hole is drilled into the cut end of the tree trunk. A tapered peg is inserted into that hole. The external surface of the peg is not circular, but has longitudinally extending ridges which engage and bite into the wall of the hole. The lower end of the peg is supported in a water vessel. The cut end of the tree trunk is immersed in water around its circumferential surface, on the end grain of its cut end, and water also flows upward along the surface of the peg between the longitudinal ridges thereon in contact with the wall of the conical hole.
