Abstract
A stand for supporting and displaying cut trees includes a closed hexagonal base having three upwardly and inwardly projecting legs that converge in about the center of the hexagonal base and that support a V-shaped cradle having upper and lower cradle arms that contact the tree trunk on two sides at both an upper location and at a lower location. A chain latching mechanism tightly fastens a chain about the circumference of the tree at a location between the upper and lower cradle arms.
