It is an “experience” for the record books.
A Briton has created a Christmas tree maze built from 800 recycled trees and may set a new world record for the largest display of illuminated Christmas trees.
Bino Rodrigues built the “Jersey Christmas Tree Experience” at Howard Davis Park on Jersey, an island in the English Channel off the northwest coast of France, from salvaged trees that were considered unsaleable.
When he discovered he was playing with a world record, he added more trees to the display.
“We’ve been planning this for several months and one night my team and I were trapped inside and one of the production team said, ‘You know you’re close to breaking a world record,'” he told the BBC.
“What we did was we reached out to a couple of companies that import Christmas trees and just said, ‘We’ll take whatever stock you have left,’ so we added a little bit more to what we already had.”
Rodrigues is awaiting confirmation from Guinness World Records that he has earned the title.
The trees in the maze were deemed unsuitable for sale and were to be ground up at a farm in England.

The current world record for the largest display of illuminated Christmas trees is 797, set in 2019 in Shelton, Washington.
To create the maze, Rodrigues sourced trees that were considered unsuitable for sale and were to be ground down on a farm in England.
“The public of Jersey will help us save these trees, everyone will feel good about doing something for the trees,” he said.
