foot tree: The tree's steel-and-wire frame is covered with a plastic net decorated with more than 1 million natural pine cones painted red, gold, green and silver, 600,000 LED bulbs and topped by a 6-meter-tall 20-foot shining star, according to CTV. The tree has cost US 80,000. The 73-meter 238-foot tree, built in capital Colombo, is 18 metres taller than the current record holder, organizers said. The Catholic Church criticized the tree as a waste of money and suggested that the funds better be spent on helping the poor. His claim is subject to confirmation from Guinness World Records, which said it has received an application from the organizers and that it is currently pending evidence submission. Mangala Gunasekara, chief organizer of the project claims their tree has beat the existing Guinness record and he hopes it will be declared by the World's tallest artificial Christmas Tree.
