The urban environment becomes cold in winter and hot in summer. This is because the environment is degraded by these exhaust gases because the air discharged from the air conditioner and the traffic volume of the vehicle are large. To prevent this environmental degradation, urban greening is necessary. In particular, the shade created by the trees and the leaves of the trees has the effect of not raising the temperature of the ground and the effect of purifying the exhaust gas of automobiles. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above problems and the following problems. (1) Providing a green environment in the garden and veranda, especially in the summer, providing shade in the summer, preventing the temperature of the outside air from rising, and creating a natural environment created by trees and leaves in everyday life. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a simple structure and configuration. (2) For installation outdoors or on the veranda or roof of a building, it is necessary to provide a support that is sufficiently stable to withstand earthquakes and strong rain and wind, and provide a support that is in harmony with natural trees. That is.

[0006]

Means for solving the above problems have been difficult to solve. It needed to be a solid support that could withstand earthquakes and strong rain and wind while harmonizing with natural trees. Usually, when the flower pots are continuously installed upward, the area of the support base is required to be about 2 to 3 times the bottom area of the flower pots to be installed. It was a necessary condition to be harmonious. This problem could be solved by widening the root of the tree while studying old trees.

[0007] The surface is a tree imitation, a plurality of flower pots 1 provided with an opening 2 on the upper side surface, and a mounting portion 4 for supporting the flower pot at a substantially central portion, the surface is a tree imitation.
It consists of a structure of the support base 5 extending in the plane direction.

A supply port 1 is provided below a plurality of flower pots 1 stacked.
0 and an outlet 13 provided above, and a supply pipe 11 connecting the supply port and the outlet is provided inside the side surface of the flowerpot 1.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A cylindrical flowerpot 1 is provided with a plurality of openings 2 on an upper side surface and a mounting portion 3 on a lower portion. It is a good condition that humus or the like is packed into the inside of the flower pot 1 and trees are planted through the opening 2 so that the branches come out from the opening 2.

A mounting portion 4 is provided substantially at the center of a support base 5 that extends on a plane and supports the flowerpot 1. The mounting portion 4 of the flowerpot 1 is connected to the mounting portion 4 of the support base 5. This is a structure for supporting the flowerpot 1 in the vertical direction.

First, a support table 5 is installed, a tree is planted through the opening 2, and the plant pots 1, 1a, and 1b planted so as to branch out from the opening 2 are sequentially connected upward. At the time of this connection, it is necessary to fit the supply pipe, which is a water supply device, accurately at the connection portion. Because the flowerpot for this staircase is located at the highest position, it is difficult to supply water,
This is because water needs to be discharged from the spout due to the water pressure of the tap water from the water supply port.

At the time of water supply, when a water supply hose is connected to the supply port 10 and the water supply cock is opened, the supply water is supplied to the supply port 1.
From 0, the water flows upward through the water supply pipe 11, and water is supplied to the trees from the jet port 13 in the uppermost flowerpot. When the water is sufficiently supplied, the water accumulates in the water holding portion 6 of the flower pot 1b, and excess water is supplied to the trees of the flower pot 1a through the drain holes 9. Next, the supplied water accumulates in the water retaining portion 6 of the flowerpot 1a, and excess water is supplied to the trees of the flowerpot 1 through the drain holes 8. When this state is reached, remove the water supply hose from the supply port 10,
Close the water tap.

[0024]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The plant pots form the trunks of the trees, and the plants planted in the openings form the branches and leaves of the trees. In summer, when the sunlight is strong, the leaves of the trees directly illuminate the ground to block the sunlight and create shade. Temperature can be prevented, the exhaust gas emitted by the vehicle is also purified by the reduction action of plants, and the structure and configuration have been simplified, making it easy to install outdoors and on the roof of buildings. As a result, it has become possible to provide the natural environment created by trees and leaves in everyday life.

Japan is a country where earthquakes often occur, and has a structure in which stem-shaped flower pots are connected in the vertical direction, so that the state becomes unstable and there is a risk of falling. The danger is further increased outdoors and on the roof of a building due to the strong wind and rain, but since the exposed portion of the tree roots can be widened, the stability can be enhanced. You can now install it with your heart in mind.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a supply port is provided below the stacked flower pots, and a spout is provided above, and a supply pipe connecting the supply port and the spout is provided. Water supply becomes easy and the labor required for plant cultivation is reduced.
