What Is a Tree Collar?
A tree collar is a sturdy circular base that wraps around the bottom of the tree, effectively hiding the tree stand out of sight. It gives the illusion that your Christmas tree is resting inside a woven basket or metal basin, yet the tree collar doesn’t have a bottom, so it won’t collect water. A hinged design lets you open the collar, making it easy to put on and take off, giving you access to the tree stand whenever the tree needs water.
Benefits
If you’ve ever had a felt Christmas tree skirt, then you already know what a magnet certain fabrics can be for pine needles. With a tree collar, the needles will fall right on the floor, making them easier to sweep or vacuum up. Plus, with a hinged collar that’s easy to remove, brushing away needles collected around the base of the tree is even easier, too.
