Here's a picture of our Christmas tree. I got tired of the flimsy fold apart tree stands, so I took a front wheel bearing assembly and weld the tree trunk down in it. Then set the assembly down in a 5 lug 15" rim and secured it with lug nuts. It is solid as a rock and makes hanging ornaments and lights easy to as you can spin the tree around. We hid the wheel with a wooden box made of barn wood.
Here’s my tree with some presents. I also always decorate this blue spruce. I planted this tree in remembrance of my brother who passed away. He was in law enforcement and My wife picked it out because the colour reminded her of a uniform. My brother loved decorating for the holidays. This tree was 16” tall and came home in the trunk of my mustang when we planted it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
