Workers Squeeze 19-Foot Christmas Tree Into Nashville Home

It took some serious manpower, and a lot of care, to safely deliver a 19-foot Christmas tree to a Nashville home for the holiday season this year.

Jim Knestrick, owner of Knestrick By Design, which offers floral and holiday decoration services, posted video of his team carefully threading the tree through the front door, and avoiding light fixtures and furniture on their way to the living room.

Knestrick told Storyful when the tree is disposed of after the holidays, it will be taken to Nashville’s recycle Christmas tree program, where trees are chipped into mulch for Nashville Public Parks trails. Credit: Jim Knestrick via Storyful
