Capitol Christmas Tree

December 11th, 2012 by flanews

The smell of cedar is filling the state capitol tonight.

That’s because a Christmas tree is sitting in the entrance way to the governor’s office. The tree was donate by the Camacho family and presented by Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. It’s a red cedar grown in Florida. Putnam says thousands of Florida trees are sold every holiday season.

“About 14-thousand Florida Christmas trees will be sold. Millions more will be bought for homes across the country, but about 14-thousand of those will be Florida grown Christmas trees,” said Putnam.

Besides the tree the capitol is also festooned with a Menorah in celebration of Hanukkah.
