ENID — The "world's tallest fresh-cut Christmas tree" has found a home once again on the Oklahoma plains.However, this 140-foot-tall "Christ Tree" has come to Enid with "reinforcements" designed to help it withstand Oklahoma winds.Many steps have been taken to avoid a repeat of last year when a cold front brought high winds that broke off the top portion of the 2021 giant tree, said Kyle Williams, president of Jiffy Trip and founder of "The One," a 40-day Christmas extravaganza in downtown Enid.The weather-related incident and subsequent repairs drew the attention of numerous news outlets across the country and helped boost the tree's fame.
