Outdoor Cut Christmas Tree how to secure?

Hi Guys I have been asked by a customer to put up an 8' real tree outside their house and decorate it with lights.  Only thing is I have no idea how to secure it, and limited time available to get it done.  I have searched the net but to no avail.......any ideas?

    Either hole in ground or a suitable x large size trug/rhino tub & several bags of post mix.

    Did that last week for commercial client, similar size tree and it's still standing firm after this weeks weather. 

    At end, we just 'peel' trug off resultant concrete block.

    Tree lasted ok like this last year until after xmas
  • If the tree is to stand on a lawn or un-paved area, we just get a big dibbing (crow) bar and make a hole about a 300mm deep and of a similar diameter to the trunk.

    Remove the bottom 300mm of the trees branches and push into hole created by the bar. the bottom branches are touching the ground and give it the stability.

    Our ones have survived the past 2 weeks weather with this method and are looking good. no disposal issues at the end either, just the tree, and a hole that needs healing in.

    We bought a potted tree today and for once I didn't have to worry about securing the tree. Heaven's knows what's in the pot but it was heavy.
