MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How tall is the tallest Christmas tree ever?

If you celebrate Christmas you probably have you tree up already in the living room. Usually anywhere from 4 feet to 7 or 8 feet for standard home. Then we have the big trees in the center of town or at Rockefeller Center which seem massive. But none of the come close to the tallest Christmas tree of all time.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the tallest Christmas tree ever was a 221-foot Douglas fir displayed in Seattle, Washington back in 1950. For a little perspective, 221 feet is more than 20 stories tall. Skyscraper type height. Insane!

I’m not sure anything will beat that record, but if there is a tree that will do it probably has many more years to go before it grows to that height.
