MARYLAND (CNN) — The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree was cut down Thursday to begin its trip to the city.

It’s expected to arrive in Midtown on Saturday.


This is the first year the tree is from Maryland.

Workers will wrap it with more than 50,000 lights, and the tree will be lit up on December 1.
