Zusammenfassung:Systems, devices and methods for holding a cut live tree in an upright position. A Christmas tree stand comprises a supporting base and non-penetrative one-way-pushable screws. Threads in the nuts through which the screws are disposed are pushed out of the way (disengaged from the threads on the screws) when the screws are pushed towards a tree placed in the base, but not when the screws are pulled away from the tree. This makes the screws much easier to push towards the tree than to pull them away, making secure fastening of the tree quick and easy. Screws can also be tightened to provide finer screw adjustment. Non-penetrative screws allow the cut tree to remain fresh longer.
