A Christmas tree spotter for easily and safely moving a fully decorated erect Christmas tree to a display location, generally adjacent a room wall, after the tree has been decorated at a more convenient work location, generally the center of a room, the Christmas tree spotter comprising a hollow inverted frustum-shaped tree trunk receptacle having a plurality of equally spaced apart radial thumbscrews projecting inwardly through the rim thereof for clamping against the trunk of the tree held therein. The receptacle includes a pointed spike projecting upwardly from the bottom thereof for piercing engagement of the cut end of the tree trunk held therein to prevent lateral movement of the trunk end. The receptacle is water-tight so the tree trunk may be immersed in water for preserving tree freshness and reducing fire hazard. Three divergent support legs, two of which have wheels mounted on the lower ends thereof, extend downwardly from the receptacle in tripod form. The third leg has a blunt lower end for frictionally engaging the supporting surface whereby wheeled movement of the spotter is prevented. A wheeled jack assembly is pivotally connected to the lower end of the third leg whereby the third leg may be raised from the supporting surface for wheeled movement of the Christmas tree spotter over the supporting surface.
