The Christmas tree will be officially lit on Nov. 30.
The approximately 90-year-old tree was cut Thursday and then lifted onto a flatbed truck for its 200-mile trip from Queensbury, New York, to New York City.
“We gave it with the expectation that everybody would enjoy it,” said Neil Lebowitz, whose family donated the tree. “For me, it was just a nice tree,” Lebowitz was quoted as saying by the New York Post. “Now it’s a special tree. Everybody around the world can enjoy it.” The tree, whose lower branches extend 50 feet in diameter, will be aglow with 50,000 multicolored lights and topped with a 900-pound star covered in 3 million crystals.
After the holidays, the tree will be milled into lumber for donation to Habitat for Humanity, officials said.
