According to the DDP, the tree must meet these guidelines for selection:
- The ideal tree should stand at approximately 45- to 60-feet tall and 25-feet wide.
- Colorado green spruce or blue spruce trees are preferred, but other grand and stately evergreens will be considered.
- The tree must be located in the front or side yard of the nominee’s property with clear access to the tree, free from power lines or transit cables.
Crews will come out to cut down the tree and remove the stump without cost to the owners of the property, according to the DDP. The tree will be selected by organizers by the end of October.
