A
74-foot Norway spruce from Pennsylvania has been hoisted into place at
Rockefeller Center in Manhattan for its starring role in a big Christmas
tradition.
Workers accomplished the task with a crane on Friday.
The tree was cut down Wednesday in Mifflinville, Pa.
It will be decorated with 30,000 multicolored LED lights. It will take
five miles of wire to cover the tree, which has a girth of 46 feet at
its lowest limbs.
The lighting ceremony will be held Nov. 30. The lights will stay on
until Jan. 7. After that, it will be milled into lumber for Habitat for
Humanity.

NBC

on Friday morning.

Tree Arrives At Rockefeller Center
POSTED:
9:41 am EST November 9, 2006
HARTFORD,
Conn. -- An 88-foot Norway spruce from a western
Connecticut home arrived in Manhattan Friday to become this year's Rockefeller
Center Christmas tree.
"It
is hugely exciting and it's huge news in the neighborhood," said Rob
Kinnaird, 58, an antique car restorer who remembers watching the tree grow
outside his window as a child in Ridgefield, a community of about 22,000 people
70 miles southwest of Hartford.
The
Kinnairds even moved the driveway four times over the years to accommodate the
growing branches.
"I
have pictures of my mom holding me out by the tree," said Kinnaird, adding
that a stint at Rockefeller Center will be a perfect end for the tree.
The
9-ton tree is 45 feet in diameter. It was hauled on a flatbed truck to
Manhattan, where workers will start putting it up at Rockefeller Plaza on
Friday.
Helicopters
are used to scout for New York City's most famous Christmas decoration.
Characteristics such as width, tree density and height, which must be at least
75 feet, are used to make the final selection.
Connecticut
has had its share of trees at Rockefeller Center. In 1999, a 100-foot Norway
spruce, the largest in the center's history, was plucked from the yard of a
Killingworth couple. And in 2003, a 79-foot-Norway spruce in Manchester was cut
down for the big holiday celebration.
The
tree will be decorated with at more than 30,000 lights and topped with a
Swarovski crystal star.
It
will be lighted during a ceremony Nov. 29. The two-hour event will be broadcast
nationally on NBC. The tree will remain in place until Jan. 8, continuing an
annual tradition that started in 1933.

Center Christmas Tree
To Be
Chopped Down In N.J.
A
74-foot-tall Norway spruce from Wayne, N.J., will be this year's Rockefeller
Center Christmas tree, organizers announced early Wednesday.
The
tree, which weighs nine tons and has a 42-foot wing span, is scheduled for
chopping at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.
It
will then be loaded onto a 115-foot-long trailer and transported to Manhattan.
The tree, Rockefeller Center's 73rd, will be hoisted into place next to the ice
skating rink at Rockefeller Center on Thursday morning.
Last
year's tree, a 71-foot-tall Norway spruce, was found on the property of a
Suffern, N.Y., family.
The
first Rockefeller Center tree was put up in 1931 by workers helping to build the
complex, and the first formal tree-lighting ceremony took place in 1933.
