World's Largest Christmas Tree
Wilmington, NC was once home to the world's largest living Christmas tree, which stood in the old Hilton Park, and was lit beginning in 1928. It was lit every year, except during World War II during the blackouts, until 2011.
The tree was a 75 foot tall live oak, not a traditional evergreen, that was trimmed with up to 7,000 lights, along with Spanish Moss for tinsel. As the tree aged, supports were added to hold up the lights, but due most likely to the stress of the weight, the tree began to shrink over time.
In 2011, they stopped the tradition due to the tree slowly dying. It was also in the way of the new water treatment plant, which needed upgraded security at the time. The tree was uprooted and removed in 2015. A portion of the tree was preserved and kept at the Cape Fear Museum.
A new tree was planted to begin the tradition anew, but it soon died, so the city has been putting up a new tree in downtown to be lit. It is made to withstand the weight of the lights and can be taken down to avoid the high winds of winter. This is just one of many great holiday traditions across the state.
