Workers from Sandone Christmas Trees, a Dallas-based company with a tree farm in Michigan, set up a 55-foot Norwegian spruce in Sundance Square Plaza on Nov. 17.

This year, the Square is using the same species of tree used in the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting in New York City.

The tree will be decorated and available for viewing before Nov. 21, when the Parade of Lights will take place in downtown Fort Worth starting at 6 p.m.
