FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — An 85-foot blue spruce soon will embark on a long journey from the mountains of eastern Arizona to Washington, D.C., to stand as the Capitol Christmas tree.
The 7,000-pound tree that is taller than a seven-story building will be harvested today. From Alpine, it will go on a statewide tour before arriving at the Capitol on Nov. 30.
This is the first year the Capitol tree will come from Arizona.
