An adjustable stand assembly for mounting a Christmas tree or other plant in the vertical orientation. There is a reservoir member having a spherically-curved, convex lower bearing surface which rests in engagement with a corresponding spherically-curved, concave upper bearing surface on a stationary base member. The trunk of the tree is mounted to the reservoir member and extends through a top opening into the interior thereof. The angle at which the tree extends can be adjusted to vertical by sliding the spherically-curved bearing surface of the reservoir over the spherically-curved bearing surface of the base member. The assembly may also include a separate pot member which is mountable to the trunk of the tree and which rests in the reservoir opening so as to transfer vertical and side loads into the reservoir member and the base member.
