A Xmas tree with numbers

(Dall-e creation)

The hereunder Xmas tree has only 6 rows – shame on us! Can it be improved?
Pick any digit d in the tree: d is absent from rows immediately above or below d.
A term is always the absolute difference of the two nearest numbers under it.
Example
12 is the absolute difference between 65 and 53, and no 1 or 2 is visible in the rows sandwiching 12.

               2
             1   3
           4   5   2
         7   3   8   6
       2   9  12   4  10
    58  56  65  53  57  67

Giorgos Kalogeropoulos was quick to beat my attempt with 7 rows (and 28 integers whose sum is 1464)

                3
             5     2
          48   43    41
       55    7    50    9
     13   68   61    11   2
   90  77    9    70   59   57
136  46  123  132    62  121  64

Bravo Giorgos, thank you and Merry Christmas to everyone!
