It's a common custom in Germany and Austria to decorate trees for Easter.

Volker Kraft stands on a ladder as he hangs the eggs from the large tree on his property. The Kraft family have decorated their tree for Easter for more than forty years.

It's a German custom to celebrate Easter by hanging hollow, painted eggs from the branches of trees.
