<p>A tree stand (10) for retaining the lower portion of a tree trunk (11) and supporting the tree upright, which includes a cylindrically walled base closed by a lower plate and an upper plate (12) having an opening to receive the tree trunk. The base (14) defines a container of relatively low profile and wide diameter, retaining a volume of water therein and providing a weighted base. Two sets of uprights are disposed diametrically opposite of each other and are attached to the base. Extending through the upper end of each upright is a clamping (54) member.</p> |
