Abstract
A Christmas tree stand is structured with a large capacity reservoir for holding comparatively larger amounts of water for hydrating a tree, and is also structured with selectively adjustable legs to adjust the height of the stand relative to a supporting surface, such as a floor. The tree stand is also provided with wheels for allowing movement of the stand and tree into position after the tree has been decorated. The Christmas tree stand may also be configured with adjustable arms for engaging the trunk of the tree, a drainage apparatus for removing water from the reservoir and a viewable window for easily determining the level of water in the reservoir. Also disclosed is a particularly configured water bucket for filling and draining the reservoir of the stand.
