    awesome, just a few weeks back I was looking for this exact same thing for a customer of mine and that is exactly what they wanted 😮

    nice job, pity my customer changed their mind.

    thanks all.
    in the center of the tree I used 3 inch square tubing. I set a 4×4 in the ground. they are actually 3.5×3.5. I trimmed the post to 3 inches above the ground and set the tree down over the post. the post sticks up about 18" in the tubing – holding the tree in place. and the tree is heavy, so I don’t think its going anywhere.

    Very Sawatsky-esque.
    🙂
    I hope it brings you some business.
    Love….Jill

    here is a link that has the info and pics

    we now do the concrete differently. we use one coat. 2 parts fine sand and one part Portland cement. add a pinch of 1/4" long poly fibers to the water, stir, then add sand and cement. trowel on – this takes a little practice, allow to set and carve when the cement is just right. this is the dan sawatzky method.
