1971 - 65 foot Fraser Fir grown on National Forest Service Land west of Ashville, NC.

Upon arrival in Washington, DC, the tree was placed in a prepared location with the help of giant mobile cranes.

The tree was stabilized with cables, and scaffolding was assembled around the tree so that decorations could begin at the top and work down.
