Tiny Christmas Tree Planted by Couple in 1979 is Now 52-ft Tall and a 5-Star Tourist Stop–LOOK
In the dark of winter, in a place where there are no street lights, a Christmas tree has grown so tall that people can see its sparkling lights from miles around.
In fact, the entire town of Inkberrow in Worcestershire, England, gathers on Pepper Street every year for the annual “Switching on” ceremony.
Avril and Christopher Rowlands bought the tiny fir tree for £6 in 1978 and after Christmas planted it in their yard to mark their first holiday together in the new home.
With 45 years of nurturing, it has grown 52-ft high and the couple now in their 80’s are still draping it with lights in December—providing a majestic light to a countryside with little illumination on any horizon.
