Rockefeller Center typically Selects its Christmas Tree months in advance, with the decision led by the head gardener or designated team at Rockefeller Center. They evaluate candidate trees for size, shape, health, and sturdiness to support heavy ornaments, before moving forward with cutting and transport. The process often involves donations from private property owners or nurseries, followed by a formal inspection and approval, after which the tree is cut, transported to NYC, and installed with specialized rigging and a custom star atop the tree.
