The Great Tree Hunt
You might think they grow these things on steroids in some secret forest, or maybe they’re cloned in a lab like something out of a sci-fi movie. Nope. It’s actually a bit more down-to-earth (pun intended).
Every year, a team of experts scour the northeastern United States, looking for the perfect tree. It's like searching for a needle in a haystack, except the needle is a hundred-foot-tall Norway spruce, and the haystack is, well, the entire northeastern United States.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
The Chosen One
The tree has to be the right shape, the right size, and it can't be allergic to glitter or something. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. Once they find the perfect specimen, it's like winning the lottery. Except instead of cash, you get a tree that’s going to be seen by millions.
The Great Migration
After the tree is chosen, it's time for the big move. Imagine trying to transport a giant green skyscraper through city traffic. That’s basically what happens. It’s a whole production, with police escorts and probably a few bewildered squirrels hitching a ride.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
