A membrane for covering the cut end of a tree trunk to prevent the tree from creating a seal after it has been cut. The membrane is attachable to the cut end surface of the tree trunk and includes a hydrating layer comprising a hydrogel. The hydrogel, made up primarily of water, adheres to the cut end surface of the tree trunk to continue hydrating the tree, and prevents air from reaching the tree's exposed transport tissue. In some embodiments, the membrane includes a backing layer and a release layer on opposite sides of the hydrating layer.

The present invention relates to a novel Christmas tree skirt device. The device comprises a skirt component with a central, continuous opening. Further, the perimeter of the skirt component comprises a weighted perimeter ring. Additionally, weights can also be used along the exterior of the skirt component. The skirt component also comprises a plurality of embedded lights. The skirt component is radially split from the central, continuous opening to the perimeter to allow the skirt component to be placed around a base of a Christmas tree. Further, once in place around the base, hook and loop closures positioned along this split are used to secure the skirt component around the base of the tree. Thus, users apply the skirt component to the base of a Christmas tree to hide extension cords running to the tree, while adding to the overall holiday aesthetic.

The present disclosure, pertaining to the technical field of tree skirt stands, relates to an I-shaped tree skirt stand including a plurality of tree skirt units that are engaged with each other. The tree skirt stand unit is formed of an upper connection bar, a lower connection bar, and a vertical fixation bar. Upper and lower ends of the vertical fixation bar are respectively fixedly connected to middle portions of the upper connection bar and the lower connection bar. The upper connection bar, the vertical fixation bar, and the lower connection bar are arranged in an I shape. The tree skirt stand is simple in assembling, the volume of the tree skirt stand in a disassembled state is reduced, and transportation and storage are eased.

The present disclosure, pertaining to the technical field of tree skirt stands, relates to a cross-type tree skirt stand including a plurality of tree skirt stand units that are engaged with each other, the tree skirt stand unit being formed of two fixation bars that are rotatably connected to each other, an insertion member and an insertion slot being respectively connected to upper and lower ends of the fixation bar, the insertion member and the insertion slot being engaged with each other, one of the fixation bars being provided with upper and lower retaining protrusions, a tree skirt fixation member being connected to a side wall of the insertion slot. The tree skirt stand according to the present disclosure has a small volume, and is convenient to be transported and stored. In addition, the difficulty of deployment and disassembling is lowered.

A foldable tree skirt to cover a tree stand for a tree or Christmas tree. The cover includes a plurality of enclosed pockets containing rigid panels therein, and an attachment device for attaching a first end of the cover with a second end of the cover. The cover with the enclosed panels within the pockets of the cover is foldable in a disassemble state. In an assembled state, the cover is releasably secured together to form a three-dimensional enclosure having a substantially continuous sidewall adapted to surround the tree stand of the Christmas tree. The plurality of poles with pole connectors are assembled to removably fit onto the top of the inside sidewall and onto the bottom inside sidewalls of the cover, so as to maintain the three-dimensional shape, i.e. cone shape. The cover can be a single piece that wrappers around the tree stand and/or fits around the tree trunk.

A tree needle catcher is provided. The device includes a flexible member having a central aperture. In some embodiments, the flexible member includes a fine mesh material defining a plurality of openings therethrough. In other embodiments, the flexible member includes a solid material wherein a plurality of openings is disposed about an outer edge of the flexible member. A linear slit extends through the flexible member between the central aperture and an outer edge of the flexible member, wherein the linear slit defines a first edge of the flexible member and a second edge of the flexible member.

Implementations of a tree cape are provided. In some implementations, the tree cape comprises one or more sleeve portions, a neck portion, and one or more openings. In some implementations, the tree cape may further comprise trim.

In some implementations, a method of using the tree cape comprises positioning the neck portion of the tree cape at or adjacent to the top portion of a tree, and further positioning the tree cape over and around the tree to cover the tree accordingly.
