Day 15 Largest Living Christmas Tree
December 15th, 2009
The worlds largest living Christmas Tree is located in Wilmington, USA. It is an Oak Tree thought to be over 400 years old. This year it has been decorated with 5,250 lights.
Here you can see the tree being lit in 2007:
The tallest living Christmas tree in America is a Stika Spruce Tree at the end of Main Street in Ferndale, California

The little town of McDonough, New York claims the “World’s Largest (at 115’), Living (it is still growing), Longest Lit (annually since electricity came to town in 1927) Christmas Tree”! This year (2009) it was re-strung with nearly 3000 new LED bulbs as a near record crowd of about 250 spectators attended the rededication ceremony. It has been maintained by the McDonough Volunteer Fire Department since 1979.
