The Christmas tree that adorns Rockefeller Center is typically a Norway Spruce. The minimum requirement is that the tree be 65 feet tall and 35 feet wide, however manager of Rockefeller Center gardens prefers the tree be between 75 and 90 feet tall and proportionally wide. Norway Spruce that grow in forests don't typically reach these proportions, so the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree tends to be one that was ornamentally planted in someone's front or back yard. There is no compensation offered in exchange for the tree, other than the pride of having donated the tree that appears in Rockefeller Center.
Over five miles of lights are used to decorate the tree every year. Only the lights and the star decorate the tree. The tree is recycled and the 3 tons of mulch are donated to the Boy Scouts. The largest portion of the trunk is donated to the U.S. Equestrian team in New Jersey to use as an obstacle jump. hfs100 corel x.2

  • @julie261984 3 more days Julie for the lighting of the tree...There's no place like New York for the holidays.

  • @musclemanrick02 Thanks Brother.... I can't remember the artist, I think I got it from Youtube audio swap.

  • Amazing Christmas/New Year time in Manhattan. Can't wait for some walking around and shopping in a month!

  • This is my favorite video of the Rockefeller Center. What artist is playing the jazz music? It's perfect.
