Rockefeller Christmas Tree Arrives in New York

Nancy Keller’s 74-foot Norway Spruce arrived at Rockefeller Center Plaza on Nov. 11. The 210-ton tree will become the 79th Christmas tree to stand over the skating plaza.

In March, the head gardener for the plaza spotted the spruce on Keller’s property in Mifflinville, PA. The tree travelled overnight by tractor trailer and a crane was used to lift into its stand.

On Nov. 30, thousands of lights and a Swarovski-made crystal star will be lit at the annual lighting ceremony in the plaza.
