Massive backyard tree will be Rockefeller Center Christmas tree

The Rockefeller Center announced its iconic Christmas tree will come from Oneonta, New York, this year.

The Norway Spruce hails from a backyard in Oneata, which is a little over an hour from Albany, NBC 4 reports.

The Rockefeller Center tweeted about the tree on Monday, along with a picture.

“This year's #RockCenterXMAS Tree comes from Oneonta, N.Y.—& what a view from the top,” the center said in the tweet.

The tree will be cut down on Nov. 10 and arrive at the Rockefeller Center on Nov. 12, according to NBC 4. The massive tree will be on display until Jan. 7.
