(WJZ) — For the very first time, New York City’s iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is from right here in Maryland. The 79-foot Norway Spruce was cut in Elkton in Cecil County Thursday morning. Devon and Julie Price had a surprise knock on their door earlier this year from the Erik Pauze, the Head Gardner at Rockefeller Center. “We never considered that our tree would be the one on display for the world to see at Rockefeller Center,” Devon shared. @wjz pic.twitter.com/NrZV7hwuCv — Amy Kawata TV (@AmyKawata) November 11, 2021A crane will hoist the tree into position at the Rockefeller Center on Nov. 13, and then the scaffolding goes up.
