Abstract: A tree stand is described that secures a tree while monitoring and replenishing a water supply for sustaining the tree. The tree stand includes a tree stand base having a reservoir configured to receive a trunk of a tree and contain water for nourishing the tree, and a water supply monitoring system configured to asses a level of the water in the reservoir. The water supply monitoring system includes a funnel insertable within the reservoir for supplying water to the reservoir, a water level monitoring system physically coupled to the tree stand base that is configured to assess a first water level indicative of a low water level in the reservoir and assess a second water level indicative of an optimal water level in the reservoir, an indicating system electrically coupled to the water level monitoring system that provides a water level indication, and a power system coupled to the water level monitoring system and the indicating system.
