how do they pick the rockefeller christmas tree

The Rockefellers work with the New York City Parks Department to select a large evergreen that is suitable for the role of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. The tree must be tall, healthy, and have a strong central branch to support the heavy ornaments and lights. The Parks Department also inspects the tree to make sure it is free from diseases and pests. Once the tree is selected, it is cut down and transported to Rockefeller Center.
