Harvested tree reservoir

A harvested tree reservoir comprising:

• a generally conical container having a floor and side walls tapering upwards to one or more opening to receive a cut trunk of harvested Christmas trees of about 9 to 14 inches in circumference, the walls and floor comprising a flexible and impermeable material, including injection-molded vinyl, rubber, or a single folded and welded plastic sheet, wherein the interior surface of the circumference of said one or more opening comprises internal threads that mate with a member with compatible external threads;
• one or more ports, with caps or plugs for re-sealing of the ports, located on the sides of the container to fill the container with liquid or let air escape from the container;
• a hinged annular sealing device comprising a pair of arc-shaped members to rotated between an open and a closed position, wherein the hinged annular sealing device is secured to the trunk of the harvested tree by means of lateral pressure created by a screw running from a proximate end of the hinged annular sealing device into a threaded hole at a distal end of the hinged annular sealing device, wherein the inner circumference of the closed annular sealing device comprises a substantially round opening and the exterior surface of the outer circumference of said annular sealing device comprises external threads that mate with the internal threads of the harvested tree reservoir;
• and more than one annular lining made of a collapsible, impermeable material, each comprising an inner circumference and an outer circumference;
• wherein said inside of the opening of the annular sealing device comprises an inner circumference;
• wherein said outer circumference of said annular lining is substantially the same as the inner circumference of said opening of the annular sealing device;
• wherein said inner circumference of said one or more annular lining is configured to pass the trunk of a selected tree;
• and wherein said one or more annular lining comprises a plurality of different inner circumferences for accommodating a plurality of tree trunks of different circumferences and horizontal cross sections, and wherein said one or more annular lining is vertically cut in one or more places to allow installation on an uncut tree trunk, and such that when the sealing device is actuated against the trunk of the tree, and a selected lining from the one or more annular lining is compressed against the surface of the tree trunk, a water-tight seal is formed between the tree trunk and an interior of a neck of the one or more opening of the reservoir.
