Unusual Christmas trees around the world

Christmas trees are one of the most important symbols of Christmas, and a very festive one at that. Most of us make our Christmas trees out of some pine tree or branch, or an artificial one bought from the store. However, there are some trees that are created very specially, that they deserve some mention.
