The 2004 holiday tree, a 70’ high, 37’ wide Norway spruce from Stonypoint, NY, is estimated to be more than 50 years old.  Situated in front of the NYSE facade, the tree is decorated with 10,000 multi-colored lights, 250 multi-colored balls with NYSE logo and a 6’ star on top, all supported on a 8’x10’ base fashioned as a gift box.

2004 will mark the fourth year the Exchange’s six 50’ columns will be strung with 56,000 red, white and blue bulbs and 60,000’ of electrical wire to create an illuminated American Flag that will measure 40’ high and 72’ wide, covering the entire facade.
