The towering beauty in western Massachusetts caught the attention of Rockefeller Center's head gardener, Erik Pauze, in 2020. Pauze adored the tree so much that he knocked on the Alberts front door to inquire about the tree.

His timing made Earl Albert's son, Michael, wonder if Pauze might be "an angel or something" because a few days before Pauze arrived, his mom, Leslie, had died.

The 2024 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has sentimental roots.

The tree was planted by the Albert family back in 1967 in West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, when Earl Albert and his wife, Leslie Albert, were still newlyweds.

When the tree was planted, it was only waist-high. Now, 57 years later, the Norway spruce stands 74 feet tall.

“We first used to decorate it when it was small, and then it got so big that I couldn’t decorate it," Earl Albert told NBC’s Joe Fryer in an interview with his family.
