这棵树怎么发现的?
今年为洛克菲勒中心选择的树由宾夕法尼亚州立大学的杰森佩林捐赠。 2010年9月,洛克菲勒中心的园艺师Erik Pauze正在与他的儿子一起参加在宾夕法尼亚州立大学附近举行的足球比赛,当时他注意到一个高耸的挪威云杉。 “Erik走到门口,他解释了他是谁,他开始谈论我后院的那棵树。起初,我不相信他。我有很多朋友,我认为可能会对我恶作剧,“佩林说。 “在我发现这不是恶作剧之后,Erik告诉我,我的树看起来很高,足够宽,而且他认为在几年内它可能会成为洛克菲勒中心的圣诞树。”在接下来的几年里,Pauze回到宾夕法尼亚州参观这棵树并检查它的状况,直到它准备好今年的展示。 “我知道住在我家后院多年的这棵树会在洛克菲勒中心展出时为很多人带来欢乐,”佩林继续说道,“并且通过捐赠给人居中心,将来也将使一个家庭受益。人性。”

Last night, thousands of people crowded the streets to attend the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony. It is a symbol of the holiday season, especially in New York City. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the technology and traditions that bring the tree to life, as well as how it compares to previous years.
1. How was the tree discovered?
The tree chosen for Rockefeller Center this year was donated by Jason Perrin of Pennsylvania State University. In September 2010, Rockefeller Centers horticulturist Erik Pauze was attending a football game near Penn State when he noticed a towering Norway spruce. “Erik walked up to the door, explained who he was, and started talking about the tree in my backyard. At first, I didnt believe him. I have a lot of friends, and I thought maybe someone was playing a joke on me,” Perrin said. “After I realized it wasnt a joke, Erik told me that my tree looked tall enough, wide enough, and he thought it could be the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in a few years.” Over the next few years, Pauze returned to Pennsylvania to visit the tree and check on its condition until it was ready for this years display. “I knew that this tree that had lived in my backyard for so many years would bring joy to so many people when it was displayed at Rockefeller Center,” Perrin continued, “and by donating it to Habitat for Humanity, it will also benefit a family in the future. Its human nature.”

2. How does it compare to previous years?
This years 80-year-old tree towers over Rockefeller Center at 75 feet tall, 50 feet in diameter, and weighs 12 to 13 tons. Over the years, the tree has ranged from 50-foot-tall pines to 100-foot-tall Norway spruces. (Last years tree was a 94-foot-tall Norway spruce.)
Who is the star of the show?
This is the fourteenth consecutive year that a custom Swarovski crystal star has shone in midtown Manhattan. The star measures 9.5 feet in diameter, 1.5 feet thick,
