The tree, commonly known as a silver tip, is estimated to be about 150 years old and measures 24 inches in diameter at the base. It was 110 feet tall, but only the top 60 feet will be used.
Four railroads donated transportation for the tree from California. It was lit in a ceremony Dec. 10.
That tree was set up on the West Front of the Capitol and was decorated with some 3,600 colored lights in clear, amber and twinkling blue colors. The lights give the tree an overall gold appearance when viewed from a distance at night, Pincus explained.
This year’s tree comes from near \reka, Calif., and school officials in that state have launched a project to have students make the ornaments for decoration.
That forest is also supplying the Supreme Court tree and several others for offices at the National Botanical Garden and the Department of Agriculture.
