Fact 63: How tall was the worlds tallest cut Christmas tree?

I have checked this on the Guinness World Records website this is Reliable.
The worlds tallest cut Christmas tree was 221 feet (67.36 m) this is according to the Guinness World Records it was a Douglas fir (Pseudotsga menziesii)  it stood at Northgate Shopping Center, Seattle, Washington, USA in December 1950. 


Wikipedia said it was the: "Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree." "The tree, usually a Norway spruce 69 to 100 feet (21–30 m) tall, has been a national tradition each year since 1933. The 2022 Christmas Tree Lighting took place on November 30, 2022, and the tree will remain on display until mid-January 2023."


The Southern Living (magazine) said "New York City is no longer home to America's tallest Christmas tree. In 2021, that honor started to belong to Enid, Oklahoma, which is actually the world's tallest Christmas tree. At 140 feet, Enid's towering Christmas tree in 2021 stood 75 percent taller than the world-famous Rockefeller Center tree."
