Each year, DTMB is tasked with the search and harvest of the state Christmas tree.
“We rely on our Michiganders to keep a lookout for the perfect tree during their summer travels,” said DTMB Director Brom Stibitz. “Our team that works on this project is excited each year to share the tree with Michigan residents and see it adorned in lights in front of the State Capitol during the holiday season.”
Trees need to meet the following criteria:
Type: Spruce or Fir.
Size: At least 60-feet tall with a maximum crown of 24 feet and maximum trunk diameter of 30 inches.
