The Norway Spruce from West Stockbridge, MA, in the Southern Berkshires region, will be cut on Thursday, Nov. 7 and arrive at Rockefeller Center on Saturday, Nov. 9, officials said.

After it's wrapped in more than 50,000 lights and crowned with a Swarovski star, the tree will be lighted during a live television broadcast on Dec. 4.
