A towering evergreen from West Edmeston has been chosen as this year’s iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, marking the first time a tree from that region has been selected for the tradition. The tree was picked from among dozens of candidates across New York’s Adirondack Mountains, where it was grown on a family-owned farm. Its selection follows a rigorous process that evaluates size, shape, and overall health, ensuring it meets the festive landmark’s exacting standards. The tree will undergo preparation before being transported to Manhattan for the holiday season’s centerpiece lighting ceremony.
