Christmas tree stand watering apparatus includes a water container which may be located somewhat remotely from a Christmas tree stand and then a conduit extends from the container into the Christmas tree stand. In the embodiment illustrated, the container comprises a pair of reservoir elements, with a connecting conduit connecting the two reservoir elements. A relatively long conduit extends from the connecting conduit to the Christmas tree stand. A pump, with appropriate check valves, is disposed in the conduit for starting the siphon action from the container to the Christmas tree stand. An element, which may be metallic element, is disposed in the conduit to keep the bottom of the conduit from contacting the bottom of the Christmas tree stand and the element extends upwardly within the conduit to provide a stable and secure routing path over the top wall of a stand. A shut off valve may be secured to the end of the conduit in the stand to shut of the flow of water in the event of an accidental removal of the conduit from the stand.
