New York City is getting its tree.
Some speculated that the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree wouldn't be put up this year because of social distancing, but it's still on its way.
The 11-ton, 75-foot-tall, 45-foot-diameter Norway Spruce from Oneonta, NY is being cut down Thursday morning and hauled to NYC on a flatbed truck. It'll arrive in Rock Center on Saturday, November 14, according to Tishman Speyer.
The tree, which is selected by Tishman Speyer through an application process, was donated this year by Daddy Al’s General Store (Al Dick) in Oneonta. It's currently on private property and is near the end of its life span, according to an Oneonta resident, who is posting TikTok videos about it.
