NEW YORK (NBC, KYMA) - The holiday season's most iconic Christmas tree arrived in New York City Saturday morning.

The 11 ton, 76-foot Norway spruce made the 200-mile journey to the Rockefeller Center Plaza. Where it will soon be adorned in 50,000 lights and topped with a 900 pound Swarovski star.

The tree hails from a property in West Edmeston, New York, and is approximately 75-years-old, measuring 50 feet in diameter.
