It's that time of the year again when everyone is out searching for that perfect holiday pine to bring home and display. With so many choices out there, I went on a quest to find the best Christmas tree stands for large trees. A proper base can hold the pine up and make it look straight, even if it is a bit crooked. To create stability, it needs a heavy base to lower the pine's center of gravity and keep it balanced. For size, it should have an opening wide enough to accommodate a roughly 4 to 6-inch trunk diameter—that’s the ballpark average thickness, which has a height of 6 or 7 feet.
Second, it needs a sizeable reservoir of water to keep the pine moist and “alive” (or at least prevent it from drying out and losing all its needles) for as long as possible. A dry pine is not only ugly and messy, it’s a fire hazard.
When looking for the right one, I took into consideration whether it can serve two primary functions, such as keeping the tree standing upright, and keeping it watered. The quality of design, and weight of the base can also help prevent it from tipping over.
