70 foot mega tree???

[Guest Don Gillespie]

Ok the lift arrived this afternoon I will have 8 hours to set up the lights in my columner aspen tree which is about 70 feet in height I am taking a huge risk if a string goes dark my display will look goofy however the risk reward is far better if it doesn't go dark I will look like a genius took me a year to talk my wife into letting me keep the lights on it all year long so I won't have to worry about getting them down after Christmas will post photos later. oh ya if this works will it quallify for the tallest mega tree or does somebody else have me beat. :}

In the past I have seen several posts and videos of 70 and 80 foot megatrees. Steel - not live growing trees with some lights on them

This is a 60 footer that is one of my favorites because of what he is able to do with it,

WOW that is a display and I agree I really like what they did with it, kind of gives me some more ideas I think I will stick with the small display and let the big guys keep showing me up.

I love the Roberts Family display! He also does a couple live webcams and I find myself watching his display live while I'm watching our display. I know it sounds odd but it's pretty neat imho.

I have a huge live tree. However being able to use a steel tree has its advantages. Climbing it is much simpler and it is modular. I can adjust the height as needed and break it down and put it away after the season is over.

I've watched a lot of videos in the last 10 months, but this one has to rank in the top 3...the point at about 0:47 with the single strand from the star down to the nativity scene (he calls it his "beam of light") did it for me...some pretty intense pics on the website also.
