Pictured is the 2019 iconic Rockefeller Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Plaza, New York City. It is a world-wide symbol of the holiday. This year`s tree is a 77-foot tall Norway spruce weighing approximately 12 tons. The tree, which is estimated to be between 70-75 years old was donated by Carol Schultz who planted the tree in 1959 in her front yard in Florida, New York, a small town in upstate New York. In addition to the bright lights, the tree will be topped with a newly redesigned star from Swarovski Crystals and famed architect Daniel Libeskind. Weighing approximately 900 pounds, the three-dimensional star features 70 spikes covered in 3 million crystals and will be illuminated with innovative LED backlighting, ensuring a stunning, sparkling display.
