The Christmas tree for Rockefeller Center arrives in NYC

A Christmas tradition of the city is getting closer and closer and that is that this Saturday morning the tree that will adorn the Rockefeller Center arrived.

Norway spruce arrived from Maryland early today. This is the first time the city has received a tree from that state for its annual celebration.

The species, formally called ‘Norway spruce’, was cut down on Thursday and has been transported ever since.

Once erected in Manhattan, the fir tree will be decorated with 50,000 Christmas lights and a crystal star on top.

The official lighting ceremony will be on December 1 and the tree will remain until January 16.
