The 75-foot, 11-foot Norway Spruce was delivered to 30 Rockefeller Plaza by flatbed truck and hoisted into place for all to see, as onlookers lined the streets to help usher in the holiday season.
Also in attendance was the Russ family of East Greenbush, New York, who donated the tree after it stood on their family's property for generations.
"What an incredible feeling of just joy," Judy Russ said. "I'm so happy. I'm so thrilled that we get to share our tree with the world."
