What it takes to nudge our holiday tree into place: 1 'copter, 4 strong cables, almost a dozen people, 10 minutes. Next up, we'll cover it with 15,000 points of light before its debut as the focal point of Wonderland Express. The 35-foot concolor fir arrived on a flatbed truck from a tree farm in Lake City, MI and was placed on the Esplanade with a helicopter. As this area is not accessible to large trucks, the helicopter is the safest way to place the tree. Visit http://www.chicagobotanic.org/wonderland
