Lighting for the Christmas tree is energy efficient: it receives an additional resource from solar panels installed on the roof of Rockefeller Center. This is very useful, because on Christmas days, the lights illuminate the spruce around the clock.
The main holiday tree even has attendants - florists monitor its good condition. This is facilitated by the fact that the spruce is on the street, which allows it to remain fresh and beautiful for a long time.
The main Christmas tree in New York is very popular: about 125 millions of visitors and residents come to see it every year.
