From Rockefeller Center and The White House, to the Charlie Brown Christmas Special on your TV, Christmas Trees are everywhere this time of year. But did you ever stop to think about this festive tower of foliage and why it’s even a holiday tradition?

This infographic from ChristmasTreeMarket.com is really just a stealth promotion of their products, artificial Christmas Tress, but it does provide a great visual timeline of the major milestones of the Christmas Tree.

From the Tree’s humble beginnings in 15th century Latvia, to Italy’s 650-meter tall wonder, Gubbio, you’ll probably learn something new about the history of the Christmas Tree in this infographic. Enjoy!
