The famous Altadena Christmas Tree Lane features deodar cedars lining a public road. Lit with thousands of bulbs at dusk on Christmas Eve, motorists drive slowly to enjoy the holiday display. The trees were brought by Captain Frederick J. Woodbury from Himalayas seeds planted on his ranch in 1885 by his sons along the main road to the Woodbury ranch.
