Portable tree stand for live trees

Abstract

A portable tree stand is disclosed herein. The portable tree stand includes a base, a top section, and a water distribution system. The base includes a flat bottom, side walls and open top adapted to receive a live tree having a tree trunk and root ball. The base having a plurality of integrated wheels configured to allow for wheeled movement of the mobile tree stand. The top section has approximately the same dimensions as the base and configured to be removably secured to the base creating an interior when secured to the base. The water distribution apparatus is located proximate the interior surface of the top section creating a water reservoir therebetween which is configured to store water. The apparatus has a plurality of water distribution openings configured to allow water stored in the reservoir to pass therethrough into the tree root cavity.
