An adjustable bracket for a tree stand having a mounting plate and a first bracket member and a second bracket member. The mounting plate has a mounting plate locking ring. A threaded shaft which terminates in a brace is extended through the mounting plate locking ring.

When the tree stand is positioned in a tree the threaded shaft is rotated through the mounting plate locking ring until the brace engages the tree. In this way the tree stand is stabilizing and adjusted.
