One of the first signs of Christmas rolled into New York City on Saturday morning. The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree officially arrived in Manhattan.
The 12-ton, 79-foot Norway spruce traveled from Elkton, Maryland, and was delivered to its new home on a 150-foot trailer, CBS New York reports. Crews will later raise the tree into place.
The tree — coming from Maryland for the first time ever — will be wrapped in more than 50,000 lights and lit on December 1.
The 85-year-old tree came from the Price family home and was cut down on Thursday, when a crane removed it.
Devon and Julie Price told NBC's "Today" they were worried about the tree falling during a storm. "So we're very excited to have it go to New York City," Devon Price said.
