Hamilton tree headed for Rockefeller Center called ‘miracle’
Christmas at New York City’s Rockfeller Center will feature a tree from New Jersey that its owners call a “miracle.”
This morning workers are cutting down the 72-foot tall Norway spruce on the grounds of Tree King nursery in Hamilton, which is owned by the Varanyak family.
The 8-ton tree will be erected over the ice rink on Friday.
Bill Varanyak told New York’s WNBC-TV the 77-year-old tree was planted after his parent’s used it as their first Christmas tree in 1931.
He says it’s “the miracle tree” because his late mother always said it would one day be on display at Rockefeller Center.
