The Christmas Tree Lane park outside of Los Angeles is the most historical evergreen display. The 132 historically protected cedars showcase a top-to-bottom [lighting-based decor scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-all-the-way) each year that is put up from October to December, then taken down February to April. The Cedrus deodara is a native to the Himalayas commonly known as the 'deodar,' where it first became recognized.

The holiday spectacle became established in 1920, then eventually attracted visitors with the extraordinary [lighting of the trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lighting-experience). The Christmas Tree Lane park was recently listed in the [National Register of Historic Places](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parks-project-wrapping-paper) in 1990 and is know recognized as a California State Landmark. This historical location makes quite the view and visit during the holiday season.
