The famous Christmas tree in New York City's Rockefeller Center is sourced from an area in North Carolina, specifically from the mountains of Ashe County. The tree, which stands at a towering height of 75 feet and weighs around 11 tons, is harvested from a local farm and then transported to the city. The tree is then decorated with thousands of lights and other decorations, creating a stunning sight for visitors and residents of the city to enjoy during the holiday season.
