The tallest Christmas tree ever recorded was grown in 1950 by a man named Ernie Spohn in El Dorado, California. It stood at a remarkable 267 feet tall! That's taller than a football field and nearly as tall as a 25-story building. It took almost 3 months to decorate the tree, and it was lit with over 30,000 lights. It was truly a sight to behold and a record that still stands to this day.
